| Abstract (English): |
Background and objective. Chronic wounds require regular monitoring for evaluation and prevention of complications. Such assessment remains subjective, prone to error, and it is often a time-consuming and costly process for patients and public health. We propose to use three-dimensional thermographic models that can complement wound assessment. Methods. A pilot study in 6 participants where three-dimensional thermographic models were created from images obtained with low-cost portable devices. Results. The results show patterns of temperature differences that seem to be related to the behavior of the wound area. Conclusions. We observe its usefulness in providing a low-cost visualization tool and objective quantitative and qualitative indicators of the evolution of wounds, as well as the possibility of monitoring in remote areas where there is a lack of specialists, since by providing metrics, it would help in their monitoring and evaluation.

Introducción y objetivo. Las heridas crónicas requieren seguimiento continuo para evaluación y prevención de complicaciones. Esta evaluación es subjetiva, sujeta a errores y consume mucho tiempo y dinero para pacientes y salud pública. Proponemos utilizar modelos tridimensionales y termográficos que complementan la evaluación de heridas. Material y método. Estudio piloto en 6 casos en donde se propone la creación de modelos tridimensionales termográficos a partir de imágenes obtenidas con dispositivos portátiles de bajo costo. Resultados. Muestran patrones de diferencias de temperaturas que parecen relacionarse con el comportamiento del área de esta herida. Conclusiones. Observamos la utilidad de una herramienta de visualización de bajo costo e indicadores objetivos cuantitativos y cualitativos de la evolución de heridas, así como la posibilidad de realizar la monitorización en zonas remotas en donde hay falta de especialistas, ya que al proveer métricas, ayudaría en su seguimiento y evaluación.
