A device and a method are provided for detecting and monitoring cutaneous diseases, wherein the device includes an image acquisition component adapted to acquire medical images of at least one portion of skin affected by a cutaneous disease, sensors adapted to detect physical conditions of the portion of skin and/or environmental conditions around the portion of skin, and to generate pathology data representing the physical conditions and/or the environmental conditions, memory for storing data in digital form, and a processor configured for a) reading the pathology data detected by the sensors and the medical images acquired by the image acquisition component, and b) storing the pathology data and the medical images into the memory.

Device and method for detecting and monitoring cutaneous diseases

A device for acquisition of medical images of an ulcer includes a plurality of light sources arranged on the perimeter of a closed regular plane geometry, and adapted to illuminate an ulcer by respective light beams covering the surface of the wound in an overlapped fashion; an image acquisition device placed within the perimeter of the light sources and adapted to acquire medical images of said illuminated ulcer.

Device and method for acquisition of medical images for the analysis of ulcers

A system and a method of analysis of medical images of an ulcer acquired by a capturing and measuring device (d, . . . , d) adapted to detect at least one parameter of the ulcer. The method provides for: &#x2014;automatically and accurately identifying and classifying the ulcer and the clinical state of the ulcer being analyzed, &#x2014;evaluating the evolution of the ulcer over time, &#x2014;correlating the pathologic state of the ulcer detected by the capturing and measuring device (d, . . . , d) with the clinical data and characteristics of the patient, &#x2014;comparing the pathologic state of the ulcer with similar ulcers of other patients and determining a plurality of possible therapies and posologies, and &#x2014;selecting, from said plurality, a therapy and a posology to be adopted for the patient in order to achieve ulcer recovery, on the basis of the success percentage of the selected therapy and posology.
