An apparatus for reliably recording, and reproducing, a history of a patient's wound using the cameras readily available on smart phone or blackberries by taking a digital record image of the wound along with a fiducial marker that has both shape and color fiducial elements. The image then contains sufficient information so that any display may be adjusted to accurately display the original color, and to accurately deduce the original size and shape of the wound. By transmitting the recorded images to a central database having image analysis capability, real time information may be made available indicating any significant changes that have occurred since the last recording of the same wound, providing an opportunity for the attending physician to give further attention to the patient without a time consuming second visit.
