ClinConnect Summary

The clinical trial titled "Telemonitoring of Chronic Wound Patients Using MyDerm" is exploring how well a digital solution called MyDerm can help monitor and manage chronic wounds on the lower limbs. This study is aimed at patients over 18 years old who have a single chronic wound that has been present for more than six weeks. The researchers want to see if using MyDerm, which allows patients to take photos of their wounds and answer simple questionnaires, can improve care and satisfaction for both patients and caregivers.

To participate, individuals must meet specific criteria, such as having a chronic wound on their lower limb and being able to use a smartphone with an internet connection. Participants will use the MyDerm solution for two months and then answer questions about their experience, which will help researchers understand its effectiveness. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it focuses on how well remote monitoring can fit into everyday healthcare practices and how it impacts patients based on their age, gender, and education level.
