Aims
To assess the interrater reliability and agreement between automated and manual wound measurement techniques
Background
Manual wound measurement methods are subject to error, and automation is expected to improve accuracy and reliability.
Methods
Automated wound measurement devices were used by clinicians, and results were compared with traditional methods for interrater reliability and agreement.
Results
High interrater reliability and agreement were observed between automated and manual measurements. The automated tool reduced time spent on wound assessments.
Conclusion
Conclusion: The automated measurement tool is reliable and effective for clinical use, improving accuracy and efficiency.
Lessons Learnt
Lessons included the need for rigorous testing of automated tools before implementation in clinical settings. The device was well-received by clinicians.
Additional Information
Results presented at the annual wound care conference.
