Multisite prospective cohort study with one-year follow-up in the Metropolitan North area of Barcelona. Recruitment of patients over 18 years with an open wound will take place from January 2023 to September 2023. Temperature checks will be conducted on a weekly basis at control visits and wound care. The following variables will be measured: Percentage reduction of wound area over time, thermal index, the Kundin Wound Gauge, and the Resvech 2.0 Scale. The temperature will be measured weekly using a handheld thermometer and mesh grid to frame the temperature points. The healing trajectory will also be monitored on a monthly basis via photographic imaging, the Resvech Scale, calculation of wound size, percentage reduction of wound area over time, and thermal index for one year of follow-up or until the wound is cured. This study may represent a turning point for its introduction into primary care. Early diagnosis of wound complications would facilitate treatment decision-making for healthcare professionals, thus improving the management of resources related to chronic wounds.
