Wound care diagnosis with fluorescence

A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium for wound care diagnosis, the computer program product comprising code which causes one or more processors to perform operations of:

• scanning a plurality of optical excitation ultraviolet light wavelength bands on a wound sample, wherein the wound sample exhibits optical spectral characteristics along the light wavelength spectrum;
• capturing excitation response wavelengths emitted by the wound sample in response to the plurality of optical excitation ultraviolet light wavelength bands, wherein the capturing is accomplished using an image sensor;
• measuring output values of a plurality of pixels of an image from the image sensor, wherein the image represents the excitation response wavelengths captured by the image sensor, wherein the measuring detects optical spectral characteristics of the wound sample, and wherein the optical spectral characteristics are in response to the plurality of optical excitation light wavelength bands;
• and
• generating an output signature indicative of a condition of the wound sample, wherein the condition of the wound sample provides a metric of wound monitoring.
