😷 Adding Patient Users (Mobile App)
📌 Overview
Before capturing any data using the Wound³ application, it's essential to add a patient to the system. We recommend adding the patient as soon as they are identified, generally at the time they are first onboarded to the application.
ℹ️ Note: Patient Users can be created through both the web and mobile applications. This guide focuses on the mobile application. To add a patient using the web application, follow these instructions.
✅ Prerequisites
Before adding a Patient User, ensure you have the following:
- 🔑 Permissions Required: Facility Network Administrator, Facility Manager, or Provider User permissions for the respective Facility.
- 🖥️ Access: Logged into the Wound³ mobile application.
- 🧾 Patient Information:
- Patient Name or ID
- Email address (optional but recommended)
- Phone Number (optional but recommended)
💡 Tip: If the patient is unable to provide their email address at the time of registration, you can add it later. An email address is required to send the patient a user invitation.
🧑⚕️🩺 Adding a Patient User
Follow these steps to add a new patient:
- 🔓 Log In: Access the Wound³ mobile application with your credentials.

- ➕ Add New Patient: Click the plus button on the top right of the screen.
- 📝 Enter Patient Details:
- Input the patient's name or ID.
ℹ️ Note: In the web application, you had to specify a Provider user: in the mobile application, you will automatically be the assigned Provider. You can change this in the web app later.

- 💾 Save Information: After entering the details, scroll down and click Save to register the patient in the system.
ℹ️ Important: When creating a new patient profile, the patient's email address is optional but must be added for the patient to receive their user invitation. If a patient is unable to provide their email address during intake, leave the field blank, and then edit the profile when appropriate.
