Abstract
In a method and handheld device for capturing and digitally storing images of a wound, stoma, fistula or stoma wafer site, a representation of a view field of an optical lens of a camera is represented at a monitor. A marker is inserted in the representation of the view field in the monitor before an image is stored, the marker being configured to aid a user's positioning of the digital camera relative to the wound area, stoma, fistula or wafer. The patient holds the handheld wound and stoma imaging device in a position relative to his/her own body or in relation to the wafer, while the monitor is simultaneously viewable by the patient. Upon receipt of auser-input for effecting digital storage of the image in the view field, the image is stored in a memory of the handheld wound and stoma imaging device. The device may include a tablet device of smart phone suitably programmed by means of an applet, and optionally an adapter for facilitating the patient's handling of the device.
