Abstract

BACKGROUND: A variety of serious conditions can affect the perineum, from infections that clear up on their own to conditions that are dangerous or add to the patient’s discomfort. Data at the level of each zone are an important factor for determining the area of wound healing. Injury investigations should include the identification of the injury, the calculation of the area of the injury which is generally important in determining treatment.

AIM: This study aims to present the findings of determining the characteristics of the perineal wound category and determining the area of the wound using MATLAB programming.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The trial data in this study used 10 digital images with the development of 1000 trials and resulted in an accuracy rate of 86%. Digital image application is designed with 11 categories of perineal wounds that include assessment of wound color and characteristics.

RESULTS: The use of the application was carried out by 21 midwife health workers with the results of 81% of applications making it easier for officers to classify wounds, and 85.7% stated that the application could be a guide in making decisions about perineal wound care. Determination of wound categories and perineal wound area in this program proves the ease for health workers in planning appropriate care and treatment. This makes it very easy for users to do programming so that users are not too bothered by programming logic and focus more on the logic of solving problems on a hand.

CONCLUSION: The development of innovative perineal wound screening applications will provide convenience in practicality and efficiency of use in the future.
