Feasibility of an image-based mobile health protocol for postoperative wound monitoring.
Many surgical site infections (SSIs) develop in the postdischarge period and are inadequately recognized by patients. To address this, the authors developed a mobile health protocol of remote wound monitoring using smartphone technology. The current study aims to establish its feasibility among patients and providers. It found that participant and provider satisfaction was universally high.
