1 — Getting Started
What is Reviva? Reviva is a smart wound care platform that helps you track patients, record wound assessments, analyze healing progress, and share reports — all in one place. It uses AI to help identify tissue types in wound photos and shows you healing trends over time. Think of it as your digital wound care assistant.
Open Reviva in your browser
Open any web browser (Chrome, Edge, or Safari work best) and go to reviva.velda.ai. You'll see the login screen appear — it's a dark-themed page with the Reviva leaf icon at the top.
Type your email address
Click on the Email field (the white box near the middle of the screen) and type the email address your facility gave you. Make sure it's the work email — personal emails won't work.
Type your password
Click on the Password field below the email box and type your password. The dots will appear as you type — that's normal! It keeps your password hidden from anyone looking over your shoulder.
Click the green Sign In button
Once your email and password are filled in, click the Sign In button. It's a green-ish gradient button right below the password field. The app will log you in and take you to your Dashboard.
2 — The Dashboard
Think of the Dashboard as your home screen — it's the first thing you see after logging in. It gives you a quick snapshot of everything happening in your facility.
Look at your summary cards
At the top of the Dashboard, you'll see four number cards in a row. These show your key stats at a glance:
- Patients — total number of patients in your system
- Wounds — total active wounds being tracked
- Assessments — total assessments recorded so far
- Active Meds — medications currently prescribed
Understand the risk overview
Beneath the summary cards, you'll find a Risk Overview section that shows how many patients fall into each risk level:
- High Risk — urgent attention needed
- Moderate Risk — monitor closely
- Low Risk — on track, routine care
3 — Managing Patients
The Patients section is where you'll find everyone under your care. You can add new patients, look up existing ones, and see all their information in one place.
Go to the Patients page
At the top of the screen, you'll see a row of pill-shaped navigation tabs (like little buttons). Click on Patients — it's the second tab between "Dashboard" and "Admin". The page will show you a list of all patients in the system.
Add a new patient
On the Patients page, look for the Add button (it's a green gradient button with a + icon, usually in the top-right area). Click it. A form will pop up asking for:
- Full Name — patient's legal name
- Date of Birth — tap to pick the date from a calendar
- Medical Record Number (MRN) — the facility's ID number for this patient
Save the new patient
After filling in the details, click the Save button at the bottom of the form. The popup will close, and you'll see the new patient appear in the patient list. You can click on their name to see their full profile.
View patient details
Click on any patient's name in the list. Their profile will open, showing several tabs (like dividers in a binder):
- Wounds — all wounds for this patient
- Comorbidities — other medical conditions
- Medications — current prescriptions
- History — past notes and events
4 — Wound Assessments
This is the heart of Reviva — recording and tracking wound measurements over time. Each assessment captures the wound's size, depth, tissue makeup, and a photo. The AI helps analyze the photo to identify tissue types automatically.
Find the wound and start an assessment
Open a patient's profile and find the wound in their wound list. Each wound card has a green Assess button — click it to open a blank assessment form.
Measure the wound
A form appears with fields for the wound measurements. Fill in:
- Length (cm) — the longest side of the wound
- Width (cm) — the widest side, perpendicular to length
- Depth (cm) — how deep the wound is at its deepest point
- Wound Bed % — the tissue mix across the wound bed: Granulation (new pink tissue), Slough (yellow/white tissue), Fibrin (orange/yellow, loosely attached), Eschar (dark, dry, leathery), Epithelial (new pale pink skin forming at the edges), and Necrotic (black/dark tissue). These should add up to 100%.
Take or upload a wound photo
Below the measurement form, you'll see a large photo upload area with a dashed border and a camera icon. Click anywhere inside this box to take a photo (if you're on a mobile device) or select one from your computer.
Watch the AI analyze the photo
Once you upload a photo, Reviva's AI gets to work. It analyzes the image and identifies different tissue types — Granulation (healthy pink tissue), Slough (yellowish tissue), and Necrotic (dark/black tissue). The results appear on screen within seconds.
Review the wound trajectory chart
After you've recorded a few assessments, Reviva creates a trajectory chart for each wound. This is a simple line chart that shows how the wound area (length × width) has changed over time. A downward trend means the wound is getting smaller — that's good! An upward trend means it's getting bigger and may need attention.
5 — Users & Staff Management
This section is only for Super Admin and Admin users (typically managers and supervisors). Regular staff won't see these options. Here's how to add new team members, assign them to facilities, and manage their access.
Go to the Admin → Users tab
Click the Admin pill tab at the top of the screen. Then click the Users sub-tab. You'll see a list of all users (you and your staff) with their roles and status.
Add a new user
Click the Add User button (green gradient, top-right). A form will open. Fill in:
- Display Name — shown on records as "Created by"
- Email — they'll use this to log in
- Role — Super Admins can create Admins or Staff; Admins can only create Staff
Assign staff to facilities
Find the staff member in the list and click the Manage Assignments button on their card. A list of facilities will appear — check the boxes for the facilities they should have access to, then click Save.
Deactivate a staff member
If someone leaves or no longer needs access, find their staff card and click the Deactivate button. It's a red button in the bottom-right of the card. The staff member will be marked as inactive and won't be able to log in anymore.
6 — Analytics & Reports
The Analytics section gives you a big-picture view of your entire facility's wound care data. It shows charts and summary numbers so you can spot trends, track progress, and identify areas that need attention.
Open Analytics
Click the Admin tab at the top of the screen, then click the Analytics sub-tab. The page will show summary cards at the top — you'll see numbers like 30 Patients, 19 Wounds, 81 Assessments, and an average healing rate.
Explore the charts
Below the summary cards, you'll find several charts:
- Wound Type Distribution — a bar or pie chart showing what kinds of wounds you're treating (pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, surgical wounds, etc.)
- Status Breakdown — how many wounds are Active, Healing, Healed, or Discharged
- Healing Rate — average healing speed across all wounds, shown as a percentage or trend
Use the data for compliance and best practices
These analytics help you answer important questions:
- Are we documenting enough? Low assessment counts suggest staff may need reminders.
- Are wounds healing on schedule? If healing rates are below benchmarks, it might be time to review treatment protocols.
- What types of wounds are most common? This helps with resource planning and staff training.
7 — Exporting Data
Need to share wound care data with a doctor, administrator, or another facility? Reviva lets you download reports in several formats or send them directly via email.
Open the export options
On a patient's profile, wound detail page, or the Analytics page, look for the export buttons — they're usually near the top-right, shown as labeled buttons with file-type icons.
Choose your format
Click the button for the format you need:
- PDF — prints a nicely formatted report, great for sharing with doctors
- Excel — spreadsheet format, good for data analysis
- Word — editable document, good for writing into charts
Send via email
Want to send a report directly to a colleague? Click the Send via Email button. A small form will pop up:
- Type the recipient's email address
- Choose the format (PDF, Excel, or Word) from the dropdown
- Add a message if you want (optional)
- Click Send
8 — EMR Integration
Reviva can share data with your facility's Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system. This section is mainly for your IT team, but here's a simple explanation of how it works.
What is EMR integration?
Your facility probably uses an EMR system to store all patient records (things like Epic, Cerner, or Meditech). Reviva can export wound care data in a format that your EMR can read. This means your wound assessments can end up in the patient's main chart automatically.
Available formats
Reviva supports these standard healthcare data formats:
- FHIR — Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (pronounced "fire"). The modern standard. Think of it as a universal language for healthcare data. Most modern EMRs support this.
- HL7 — Health Level 7. An older but very common standard. Many hospital systems still use this.
- CCD — Continuity of Care Document. A summary record that can be imported into most EMRs.
How to set it up
Setting up EMR integration is handled by your IT department or the person who manages your EMR system. They'll need to:
- 1. Contact the Reviva support team to enable the integration
- 2. Provide your EMR's API endpoint (a web address for data exchange)
- 3. Choose which data format your EMR supports (FHIR, HL7, or CCD)
- 4. Test the connection with a small data set first
