This is app is an excellent example of using tools in the field to better patient care. When I started in home care, I was not so skilled with understanding what wounds looked like at each stage and different treatment options. This app helps me understand a wound I see and helps me provide recommendations for the provider for wound care orders. Since using this app, I feel like I have resource in the field when I’m visiting my patients in their homes and need a quick reference. Right now this app is free, but I would pay for this kind of app or try to get my company to pay for it for my coworkers and I to use in the field.

I’m a nurse educator for a moderate-sized hospice program and I loved this app so much that we just added it to all of our nurses and aides devices. I have received very positive feedback from the staff. Now they have immediate assistance to help Dx a type of wound, stage PI’s and look up treatments all while they are with the patients. They especially like the pictures. It is also very consistent with our own formulary and has even inspired me to add and item! Great for varying levels of experience with wounds, even those very experienced who may need to “switch” to a more palliative perspective on wound care. Great job!

Wound Care Pro is a very comprehensive guide to wounds and ostomies. This app has evidenced based articles written by an expert clinician and is not brand focused - meaning product examples are introduced by category in a neutral manner. (Very useful when working with a particular formulary based on what is made available by your employer.) This app would also be a great gift for a coworker or new graduate. I am currently a wound care nurse and recommend it frequently to new hires and coworkers- easily worth the price point which could be much higher imo.
