Proposal: Chronic ulcers in elderly people are a growing problem in our society. Many ulcers appear in areas where the microcirculation is affected which can cause, first ischemia and then the formation of an ulcer. A therapy used for the treatment of these ulcers is to apply Platelet Enriched Plasma from the patient. In this way, a high healing rate is achieved, especially in diabetic foot cases. Monitoring the evolution of chronic ulcers after this or other treatments can provide useful prognostic values to proceed with treatment or not. For the care units, having parameters that can have a prognostic value, it would mean the possibility of optimizing the time spent on each patient.
