An ever-changing and ever-improving selection of image-capturing devices has been created and studied in recent years. To improve future chronic wound care programs, there is a need to explore how accurately clinicians can diagnose specific wound characteristics using these images, especially when these devices are operated in the clinical setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Inclusion criteria:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Peer-reviewed studies and unpublished\/gray literature comparing image-assisted with face-to-face modalities for chronic wound care will be included.
