Abstract
The project focused on evaluating the introduction of a telemedical device across various European Countries. The Wound Viewer (WV) is a device designed to support the diagnosis and monitoring of skin ulcers by capturing an image of the lesion and using an integrated AI algorithm to detect and segment the area of interest, providing classification, area and depth of the wound. With a view to potentially integrating the WV into the healthcare system in the field of wound care, an analysis was conducted on the current costs dedicated to chronic wound care in different European countries. Based on this analysis, an evaluation was made of the hypothetical cost reduction that could occur if the device were adopted at a national scale.
The calculation was based on the results obtained from a trial conducted at a hospital in Asti and on the percentage of people affected by skin ulcers each year worldwide (2% of the population)
