| As the provision of eHealth becomes increasingly personalized, a common phenomenon observed is the increasing need of users for immediate access to health-related information. Especially when this information is related to trauma, and in particular to skin injuries, the research community shows a strong interest in its analysis, evaluation and quantification. Modern technological capabilities offer advanced functions for processing and managing large volumes of data, utilizing sophisticated search and information retrieval techniques. At the same time, through portable devices that users already have, it becomes possible to visualize data with interactive features, such as through the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies. This work demonstrates the development of a mobile AR system that retrieves various types of skin traumas, including wounds, burns and spiles, and visualizes them as AR images. Operating on commodity mobile hardware, the developed proof-of-concept prototype utilizes pervasive mHealth interventions to promote dermatological self-awareness. |
