Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a mobile terminal allowing the determination of information relating to a wound, including a photographic apparatus for acquiring an image of a zone containing the wound and device adapted for determining a first likelihood map associated with a first characteristic of the zone by using a first classifier; determining a second likelihood map associated with a second characteristic, by using a second classifier, distinct from the first classifier; segmenting the image into regions of homogeneous colour; matching the regions with the first and second maps, and adapting these regions so as to determine regions corresponding substantially to the wound, and determine these items of information on the basis of these regions and displaying them on a screen of the terminal.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a light source device comprising a light emitting element for emitting a blue light having a wavelength ranging from 435 to 500 nm, the light source device being configured to provide the blue light to at least one cell at a transmitted fluence ranging from 0.01 to 18. J/cm2 to promote or induce growth and proliferation of the cell and wherein the light emitting element has a power density ranging from 0.05 to 30 mW/cm2. The invention is also directed to a light source assembly comprising a product adapted to be in contact with the skin or a wound and a light source device connected to the product for providing blue light to at least one skin cell, preferably of the wound.
