Design and development of an mHealth application for pressure ulcer care and caregiver support
These results demonstrate the model's effectiveness for pressure ulcer classification, offering a robust foundation for real-time clinical decision support. The application supports remote monitoring, healing status detection, and educational access, especially in resource-limited settings. This holistic solution not only enhances caregiver confidence and independence but also aids clinicians in wound assessment and intervention planning. A future experimental study will validate the app's clinical utility, impact on patient outcomes, and potential to improve the quality of home-based pressure ulcer management.
