CUSTOMIZATION OF WOUND DRESSING USING RULE-BASED ALGORITHM
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of customizing and fabricating a wound dressing for a wound of a patient by a wound dressing fabricator, comprising:
- receiving a first set of parameters associated with the wound;
generating a wound dressing specification by a wound dressing customization algorithm based on the first set of parameters, the wound dressing specification including a second set of parameters of the wound dressing, the wound dressing customization algorithm implementing a clinical protocol for customizing a wound dressing; and
fabricating a wound dressing according to the wound dressing specification.

Abstract
A method and/or system for customizing wound dressings based on an effective wound treatment protocol created by collecting and analyzing wound treatment records. The wound treatment records are collected from one or more wound treatment facilities. The wound dressings are not customized for each patient based solely on experiences and knowledge of medical practitioners but also based on the wound treatment protocol. Further, an intuitive and systematic user interface for a wound dressing fabricator is provided to allow medical practitioners with varying levels of experiences and knowledge to customize wound dressings for a specific wound. By using the wound treatment protocol and the systematic user interface, flawed wound dressings are less likely to be fabricated. Various other functionalities are also provided to manage and support the wound dressing fabricator.
