Workflow of the clinical trial performed at the San Luca and Politecnico di Torino. As shown, the trial involved two teams: a clinical team and a data management team which worked in double blind. The clinical team had the responsibility of enrolling the patient, perform an analysis with the WV device and other manual measurement devices for wound care. In addition, the clinical team had to perform a visual assessment of the wound, classifying it through the WBP score. All the data obtained with the devices (excluding the WV) were reported on paper Clinical Research Folders (CRFs), while the data obtained with the WV was automatically sent to the data management team through a secure cloud data transmission system. The Data Management team, at the end of the trial, collected all the CRFs and compared the obtained results calculating the outcomes.
