    Abstract: A system for outputting a representation of a wound in tissue comprises a housing configured to removably receive at least a portion of a wireless communication device. At least one light source coupled to the housing is configured to emit excitation light to illuminate a target which includes at least a portion of the wound. A power supply contained in the housing is configured to provide power to the light source. A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores a program executable to cause the performance of operations comprising detecting signals responsive to illumination of the target, outputting the representation of the target based thereon, storing data relative to one or more target surface parameter based on the detected signals, and displaying the representation. The signals correspond to at least one of endogenous or exogeneous fluorescence, absorbance, and reflectance from at least one biological component in and/or on the target.

    Abstract: A portable imaging system for visualizing bacteria in a wound in real time includes an excitation light source configured to emit violet and/or blue excitation light to illuminate a wound and cause at least one biomarker associated with the wound to fluoresce and a camera configured to detect fluorescence emitted by the at least one biomarker associated with the wound in response to illumination of the wound with the excitation light. A portable frame is configured to support the camera and the excitation light source for hands-free operation and to position the camera and the excitation light source relative to the wound. The system also includes a power source for the excitation light source.

    Abstract: A system for acquiring data regarding a wound in tissue comprises at least one excitation light source configured to directly illuminate a wound with excitation light; a spectral filtering mechanism configured to permit passage of optical signals responsive to illumination of the wound and having at least one wavelength corresponding to bacterial, fungal, and/or other microorganism autofluorescence and/or bacterial, fungal, viral, and/or microbial fluorescence, the spectral filtering mechanism including a plurality of selectable filters respectively corresponding to different discrete spectral bandwidths; an optical sensor configured to detect the spectrally filtered signals; and a processor configured to receive the detected, filtered signals and to identify a fluorescent signature of bacteria in the wound based at least in part on the detected, filtered signals and to output data regarding the bacterial, fungal, viral, and/or microbial fluorescent signature.
