With the proliferation of wound assessment apps across various app stores and the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare apps, there is a growing need for a comprehensive evaluation system. Current apps lack sufficient evidence-based reliability, prompting the necessity for a systematic assessment. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the wound assessment and monitoring apps, identify limitations, and outline opportunities for future app development. An electronic search across two major app stores (Google Play store, and Apple App Store) was conducted and the selected apps were rated by three independent raters. A total of 170 apps were discovered, and 10 were selected for review based on a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. By modifying existing scales, an app rating scale for wound assessment apps is created and used to evaluate the selected ten apps. Our rating scale evaluates apps’ functionality and software quality characteristics. Most apps in the app stores, according to our evaluation, do not meet the overall requirements for wound monitoring and assessment. All the apps that we reviewed are focused on practitioners and doctors. According to our evaluation, the app ImitoWound got the highest mean score of 4.24. But this app has 7 criteria among our 11 functionalities criteria. Finally, we have recommended future opportunities to leverage advanced techniques, particularly those involving artificial intelligence, to enhance the functionality and efficacy of wound assessment apps. This research serves as a valuable resource for future developers and researchers seeking to enhance the design of wound assessment-based applications, encompassing improvements in both software quality and functionality.

随着伤口评估应用程序在各种应用程序商店中的激增以及人工智能 (AI) 在医疗保健应用程序中的日益集成，对综合评估系统的需求日益增长。当前的应用程序缺乏足够的基于证据的可靠性，因此需要进行系统评估。本研究的目的是评估伤口评估和监测应用程序，找出局限性，并概述未来应用程序开发的机会。我们对两个主要应用商店（Google Play 商店和 Apple App Store）进行了电子搜索，并由三位独立评级员对选定的应用程序进行了评级。总共发现了 170 个应用程序，并根据一组纳入和排除标准选择了 10 个应用程序进行审查。通过修改现有量表，创建伤口评估应用程序的应用程序评级量表并用于评估选定的十个应用程序。我们的评级量表评估应用程序的功能和软件质量特征。根据我们的评估，应用商店中的大多数应用程序不符合伤口监测和评估的总体要求。我们审查的所有应用程序都专注于从业者和医生。根据我们的评估， ImitoWound应用程序获得了 4.24 的最高平均得分。但这个应用程序在我们的 11 项功能标准中有 7 项标准。最后，我们建议未来有机会利用先进技术，特别是涉及人工智能的技术，来增强伤口评估应用程序的功能和功效。 这项研究为未来寻求增强基于伤口评估的应用程序的设计（包括软件质量和功能的改进）的开发人员和研究人员提供了宝贵的资源。
