      • ⚠️ If the patient has multiple wounds, create one questionnaire per wound.

      • You will then need to create a separate assessment for each wound.

    • A questionnaire already exists?

      • Select it directly, then proceed to the measurement step.

    📐 3. Calculate wound dimensions

    In the "Dimensions" section of the questionnaire, two options:

    ✍️ Option 1: Automatic measurement (recommended)

     

    • Click "AI powered analysis"

    • The surface area (cm²), maximum length, and maximum width are calculated automatically.

    ⚠️ Requires a valid calibration sticker

     

    ✏️ Option 2: Manual entry

    • Enter the estimated length and width.
    • The surface area is calculated using the ellipse formula: Length x Width x 0.785

    📝 4. Fill in the remaining questions

    • Answer the additional fields or skip them if not needed.
