Abstract

A wound characterization system that includes color calibration.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I/we claim: 
     
         1 . A method for making a measurement comprising:
 (a) capturing a digital image, the captured digital image including both,
 (i) a wound associated with a patient, 
 (ii) a color calibration pattern; 
   (b) modifying the color characteristics of the captured wound based upon the color calibration pattern;   (c) categorizing said modified captured image into one of a plurality of different wound categories based upon wound severity.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said modified includes adjusting for exposure. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said modified includes adjusting for light. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said modified includes adjusting for image capture device. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising determine boundaries of said wound. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising determine boundaries of said modified wound. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said classified is based upon tissue color. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said classified is based upon etiology. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said classified is based upon wound staging history. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said classified is based upon wound location. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said classified is based upon comparing the captured wound image to images of priorly classified wounds. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said classified is based upon wound depth. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said classified is based upon tissue color. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said classified is based upon tissue texture. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said classified is based upon tissue composition. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said classified is based upon an artificial intelligence trained network.
