I read with interest the article by Braun et al¹ published in the recent issue of the ARCHIVES. Their study has established the feasibility of telemedical wound care using mobile technology. To deliver the appropriate telemedical wound care to remote geographic areas, wound measurement is of vital importance and aids in the scientific assessment of the progress of treatment. Wound measurement was not the focus of their article.

My research team has proposed the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software for wound measurement,² and I have illustrated the accessibilty and economic advantages to remote areas of using advanced software in telemedicine.³ Kantor and Margolis⁴ noted that my proposal of scanning or wound tracing with a microtip pen and mailing the resulting image to a centralized location for computer-aided measurement results in a slow rate of physician adoption of these novel technologies. Based on our previous data^2-3 and my . . . [Full Text of this Article]
