Summary

This study tested whether a mobile application could help nurses and caregivers better manage pressure injuries (bedsores) in people receiving home care. Thirty participants were followed for 28 days, with caregivers using the app to track wound healing and receive reminders. The goal was to see if the app improved wound scores and caregiver knowledge.
