1. The Eykona wound measurement system: modernising wound measurement for the 21st Century Authors: Frank Bowling, Laurie King, Ronald Daniel, Hassan Fadavi, James Paterson,
David Matthews, and Andrew Boulton
2. Introduction A new wound measurement system
Based on digital imaging & PC software
Unrivalled simplicity and speed of use
Provides calibrated-colour 3D model
Interactive measurement including depth
Ideal for remote diagnosis & telemedicine
3. The 3D wound data
4. From 2D photographs…
5. …to a colour 3D model
6. Linear Measurement Length measurements (mm)
7. Volume Measurement Area (mm2) and volume (mm3)
Boundary detection under development!
8. Monitoring Healing A progression of healing across 7 days
9. Methodology Two UK centres, 10 weeks
35 ulcers from 31 patients
Majority imaged 2+ times, total 67 encounters
Hand-measured Elliptical (EM) compared against Digital Elliptical (DEM)
Side tests:
Absolute accuracy of Digital Area (DAM)
Repeatability of DEM
10. Prototype Equipment Integrated hardware under development
Prototype: SLR1, “Magic pyramid”2
(2 - attached near wound during imaging)
11. Participant stats
Mean wound size (EM): 294mm2 sd:452
Mean wound size (DEM): 258mm2 sd:357
Participant age range 45 – 93
Wound severity range (UT) 1A – 3D
12. Statistical Analysis Excellent correlation between DEM and EM
P<0.001 (N = 69)
Absolute accuracy (area mm2 against known-size fabricated wound) error <5.4% (10 trials)
Intra-observer variation (DEM) <3% (15 trials)
13. Conclusion Positive feedback from clinicians
Both groups “flying solo” from week 1
Excellent measurement correlation
Further validation of accuracy to follow
Early evidence of potential for remote diagnosis & telemedicine
