DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR MONITORING WOUNDS

Devices, systems, and methods for monitoring and determining characteristics of wounds on a subject are disclosed. A monitoring device includes an imaging component and a computing device communicatively coupled to the imaging component. The imaging component includes a light emitting component that emits light at a calibrated wavelength, a laser emitting device, and an imaging device. The computing device directs the light emitting component to emit the light at the calibrated wavelength, directs the imaging component to cause the laser emitting device to emit a laser projection toward the wound, receives, from the imaging component, image data captured by the imaging device, determines, from the image data, the characteristics of the wound, and scores the wound based on the characteristics of the wound to obtain a wound score.. The characteristics include one or more of a size of the wound, a type of tissue, and an amount of exudate.
