AI-powered wound segmentation tool trained on 4,000 wounds - Stefanelli et al.

Three healthcare institutions in Western Switzerland provided high-resolution images, short videos, and 3D scans, along with structured clinical metadata, to train an AI model on roughly 4,000 wounds.

Wound measurement in dogs - Tambella et al.

Using the calibration marker mode in imitoMeasure on an iPad and refining the wound border with an Apple Pencil is the most suitable way to measure a wound digitally. That's what Italian researchers found when comparing several methods to measure 50 wounds in dogs.

ImageJ vs. wound measurement app for small wounds - Sharun et al.

Measuring 291 rabbit wounds showed that imitoMeasure consistently had a higher level of agreement with ImageJ than traditional acetate wound tracing - particularly for small and intermediate wounds. imitoMeasure was also the fastest method across all wound sizes, while wound tracing took the longest to process.

imitoMeasure as valid and reliable as acetate tracing

Wounds of 12 dogs of various ages, breeds, and sexes were measured using both the manual tracing method (acetate paper) and the imitoMeasure app. imito’s smartphone-based wound measurement method proved to be valid and reliable when compared to the traditional method.

Comparing the effectiveness of topical and injected PRP through wound size measurement

Diabetic foot ulcers in 60 participants were measured with imitoMeasure at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-therapy. The authors showed that the percentage reduction in wound size was greater in the group that received injected platelet-rich plasma (PRP) than in the group that received topical PRP treatment.

Intrarater and interrater reliability assessed - Younis et al.

imito's method showed excellent validity and reliability (intra-rater and inter-rater reliability) measuring lower limb chronic wounds of 61 patients. The authors conclude that imito is a practical tool for tracking the wound healing progress in daily clinical practice.

Suitable for daily practice - Aarts et al.

Dutch clinical researchers from Erasmus University Medical Center found that imitoWound accurately and reliably measured 52 large, concave postoperative wounds. They also emphasized that the imitoWound app, compatible with any common smartphone, is better suited for daily clinical practice than laser-based measurement methods.

Wound ruler vs. wound measurement app - Guarro et al.

32 wounds were measured both with a traditional paper ruler and imito's digital wound measurement method. 3 parameters were analysed: wound width, length, and area. For each parameter, the statistical analysis showed that imito's digital technology is reliable.

ImageJ vs. wound measurement tool imito - Biagioni et al.

85 wounds on toes, feet and legs caused by vascular disease were measured with 2 different methods. There was no statistical significant difference (p = 0.121) between the two methods. Which means a wound area measurement with imito is as accurate as taking a photo with a normal digital camera and then calculating the wound area with the ImageJ processing tool. Moreover, the authors found imito to work accurately both on iOS and Android smartphones.

Alternative to current gold standard - Do Khac et al.

61 pressure ulcers on flat skin, but also on curved skin, were measured in this study twice by the main investigator as well as by a co-investigator. Because of the good validity, intra-rater and inter-rater reliability, the authors conclude that imito's method could replace acetate tracing as the standard technique used to measure wound surface area.

Wound measurement in cats - Bodea et al.

imito can help to measure cat wounds as well 🐈 The authors conclude, that particularly (anxious) animal patients may benefit from the non-invasive and accurate wound measurement. They also note that imito is easy to use, especially because clinicians can use the application on any normal smartphone or tablet.

Ivermectin efficacy was assessed based on wound size - Mensah et al.

In this study, researchers tested the effect of a pharmaceutical (Ivermectin) on wound healing. imito’s measurement method helped them to precisely measure the wound area on day 0, 2, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15, and 21 post-wounding. They conclude that low doses of ivermectin cream have the potential to be used in treating wounds with minimal scar tissue formation.

Measuring wound size reduction for octenidine gel vs. povidone-iodine dressing

80 diabetic patients received one of the 2 treatments for their foot ulcers for 14 days. Wound healing was assessed by calculating the mean percentage reduction in ulcer area. Octenidine wound gel showed a superior mean reduction of 25.5%, while povidone-iodine dressing showed a reduction of 14.5%.
