N2 - Wound assessment is crucial for monitoring healing, but traditional methods require removing gauze, which can disrupt healing and increase infection risk. We introduce WavelyVision, an over-gauze wound assessment system based on the mmWave sensor. It detects skin moisture - -a key wound condition indicator - -by analyzing how mmWave signals change with moisture levels. To improve accuracy, WavelyVision uses a denoised imaging algorithm to reduce motion noise and separate skin signals from environmental interference. A physical model further enhances moisture estimation. Experiments show WavelyVision achieves high accuracy, with a moisture error of about 0.5% and an SSIM of about 0.9. These results demonstrate its potential for non-invasive wound monitoring.
