Abstract:

Wound care systems and methods are disclosed that provide users with interactive instruction for chronic wound care. The system presents a visual depiction of a patient with a chronic wound and a visual depiction of wound characteristics, cross-section of the wound and interactive wound care tools. Further, the system presents a visual map having on-screen graphics representing at least one of tissue consistency, tissue texture, tissue temperature, tissue moisture and tissue tenderness for a virtual chronic wound. At least some of the on-screen graphics represent visual cues for the wound care such that a user is provided with a visual indication of the response of the virtual wound to the care the user virtually provides. Administrators can select care modules to build custom training tutorials. In addition, the system tracks the user interaction with the virtual training to provide feedback to the administrator or the user.
