3. NIR imaging can be used to find vessels under the skin Application of Near-Infrared Imaging

4. NIR imaging can be used to monitor wound healing and to find blood vessels under the skin + (λ = 685, 780, and 830). Application of Near-Infrared Imaging

5. Currently used NIR cameras are expensive Medical Near-Infrared Cameras

6. The purpose of this study is to manufacture a cheap near-IR camera and application for use with smart phones to test whether the device can detect areas of skin at risk for ulceration. Objectives
