Descriptiontext

WoundMatrix is a cloud-based wound management and telehealth platform founded in 2000 that enables clinical capture, measurement, and longitudinal tracking of wound images and outcomes. The platform is delivered through mobile and web applications, supports telehealth workflows, and integrates with third-party electronic health record systems; its computer-vision-assisted wound measurement functionality has been validated in a Johns Hopkins clinical study. Target end users include hospitals, hospital-at-home and telehealth programs, long-term acute care facilities (LTACs), visiting nurse associations (VNAs), and clinical research organizations (CROs), with regulatory positioning across HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and UKCA marking to serve US and UK markets.

The platform combines customizable data fields with image capture and EHR integration to standardize wound documentation across care settings, reducing inter-clinician measurement variability and supporting outcome reporting for chronic-wear populations such as diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries, and surgical wounds. Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 supports use in regulated clinical research contexts, where audit trails and electronic signature requirements apply.

The company operates a subscription-based business model complemented by professional services for implementation, EHR integration, training, and configuration. Go-to-market is delivered through direct enterprise sales augmented by channel partners, including a Premier group purchasing agreement and an Insight Enterprises co-sell partnership in the US, alongside a 10-year deployment with Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust and ABHI/PRSB memberships for UK NHS expansion.
