Telemonitoring of Chronic Wound Patients Using MyDerm, a Digital Solution: Feasibility Study

Télésurveillance de Patients Porteurs d'Une Plaie Chronique à l'Aide d'Une Solution numérique MyDerm : étude de faisabilité

The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of integrating myDerm for remote monitoring of chronic wounds into everyday practice, for patients over 18 years of age suffering from a single chronic wound of the lower limb (more than 6 weeks old).

Outcome measure 1 :

Evaluate patient satisfaction after 2 months of using the MyDerm solution.

Outcome measure 2 :

1. Evaluate caregiver satisfaction after 2 months of patient use of MyDerm solution.
2. Assess patient use (compliance, frequency) of MyDerm solution
3. Evaluate caregiver use of PIXACARE solution
4. Evaluate the impact of patients' socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, level of education: primary/secondary/tertiary, rural/urban) on use of the MyDerm solution.
5. Evaluate the impact of patients' clinical characteristics on the use of the MyDerm solution.

Researchers will compare standard of care arm vs remote monitoring arm.

As part of remote monitoring, patients are invited to take photos of their wounds using their smartphone, and to answer a simple questionnaire to look for signs of complications. To assess satisfaction, the patient will complete a questionnaire after 2 months' use, using a 7-level Likert scale.

Observational, monocentric study of patients with chronic wounds of the lower limb benefiting from the digital solution for remote monitoring of wound healing.

Clinical data will be collected by the investigating team during the primary consultation.

Patient satisfaction surveys will be sent in paper format to patients at the consultation scheduled at the end of the two-month follow-up period.

Caregiver" satisfaction surveys will be sent in paper format to caregivers at the end of the study.

The number of actions taken in response to an alert (by telephone, by message, organization of a physical consultation, organization of a teleconsultation, hospitalization) will be recorded in the post-alert action traceability form
