This paper presents a Java framework for analyzing and processing wound images to be used in teaching, learning and research. We promote e-learning technologies in medical, pharmaceutical and health care domains. Based on colour and texture analysis, we identify the main barriers to wound healing. This framework provides the infrastructure for preparing e learning scenarios based on real-world experiences. We make experiments for wound healing simulation using various treatments and compare the results with experimental observations. Our experiments are supported by XML-based databases containing knowledge extracted from previous experiences and from medical experts’ knowledge.
