Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Most current wound size measurement devices or applications require manual wound tracing and reference markers. Chronic wound care usually relies on patients or caregivers who might have difficulties using these devices. Considering a more human-centered design, we propose an automatic wound size measurement system by combining three deep learning (DL) models and using fingernails as a reference.
