Chronic wounds are common in clinical practice, with long treatment cycle and high treatment cost. Changes in wound area can well predict the effectiveness of treatment and the possibility of healing. Therefore, continuous wound monitoring and evaluation are particularly important. Traditional manual wound measurement tends to overestimate wound area. Recently, various intelligent wound measurement devices have been introduced into clinical practice. This review aims to summarise the reliability, validity, types and measurement principles of different intelligent wound measurement devices, so as to analyse the clinical value and application prospect. Articles numbering 2610 were retrieved from the database, and 14 articles met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that the intelligent wound measurement devices included in the study reported good reliability and validity. Contact devices can lead to wound bed damage, wound deformation, patient pain, and is not convenient for electronic wound recording; partial contact devices can complete continuous monitoring and recording of wounds, but are not sensitive to wound depth measurement. Non-contact devices are more accurate in capturing wound images. In addition to wound measurement, they also have the function of wound assessment. In general, handheld and portable non-contact devices have great clinical value and promotion prospects.
