New study tests home monitoring for chronic wounds to cut hospital visits

This study looks at whether using a smartphone app to monitor chronic wounds at home can reduce the number of in-person doctor visits. About 100 adults with a single chronic wound (like a diabetic foot ulcer or pressure sore) will be split into two groups: one gets standard care, the other uses the Pixacare telemonitoring tool with an alert system. The goal is to see if remote monitoring leads to fewer clinic visits, faster healing, and earlier detection of complications.
