Feasibility of implementing a patient-centered postoperative wound monitoring program using smartphone images: a pilot protocol.
The researchers propose a protocol of postoperative wound monitoring using smartphone digital images. Their study will help establish the feasibility of such a program, both for patients and for the clinical care team. The feasibility trial will confirm whether patients and their caregivers can learn to use a postdischarge wound monitoring smartphone app and will assess patient and provider satisfaction.
