Abstract

Objective: To improve monitoring of the main chronic wounds in Brazil (diabetic foot ulcer, venous ulcer and pressure ulcer).Method: Create medical algorithms, which will be implemented in a health app developed by the ARGO group, for the telemonitoring of patients with the most prevalent chronic wounds in Brazil. The project also provides for the formulation of educational content and a targeted and objective anamnesis.Results: to be determined.Conclusion: to be determined.
