Noninvasive Measurement of Wound Healing of the Skin

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Clinical research has tried to speed up wound healing for more than a century. In order to develop appropriate medication for this purpose, we need to have an exact understanding of the physiology of wound healing. The development of wound healing models and the capacity to evaluate wound healing in an objective way are additional, important prerequisites. So far, there has been a lack of highly standardized or generally recognized wound healing models developed in human beings which meet strict scientific and ethical requirements. Investigations referring to wound healing models therefore have largely been restricted to animal experiments or to observations of the healing process on the surfaces of wounds.
