Implication

Scoping review reveals infrared thermography's benefits in evaluating wound types, highlighting its potential impact on treatment outcomes.

Key Points

  • Infrared thermography effectively detects early signs of inflammation and delays in wound healing, improving clinical interventions.
  • The review included 76 studies published from 2010 to 2024, indicating strong potential for user-friendly and affordable thermographic devices.
  • Assessment of wound types included burns, surgical wounds, and diabetic foot ulcers, enhancing care quality and outcomes.
  • Integration with electronic medical records is a key barrier, and larger prospective studies are needed for validation of the technology's clinical utility.
