An artificial intelligence-enabled smartphone app for real-time pressure injury assessment

Abstract: The management of chronic wounds in the elderly such as pressure injury (also known as bedsore or pressure ulcer) is increasingly important in an ageing population. Accurate classification of the stage of pressure injury is important for wound care planning. Nonetheless, the expertise required for staging is often not available in a residential care home setting. Artificial-intelligence (AI)-based computer vision techniques have opened up opportunities to harness the inbuilt camera in modern smartphones to sup… Show more

“…Hence, it is important to highlight that because the performance indicators employed in these research studies differ, it is challenging to directly compare the results. Our model outperformed [29,69], as demonstrated in the table, with superior metrics and a significantly higher mAP value. These results demonstrate the potential of our model for accurate pressure ulcer detection and classification.…”

“…However, previous studies have limitations, such as small dataset sizes, reliance on limited feature extraction methods, and lack of generalizability. Therefore, a more comprehensive and accurate solution to pressure ulcer detection and classification is needed [27][28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

“…Current image-based wound management practices, often involving manual wound photography and assessment carried out by nurses, are time-and labor-intensive [21]. In contrast, models of care augmented with ML-enabled methods can be automated [22,23]. The portability of these methods might also be employed to conduct such assessments remotely [24], reducing patient travel burden and improving access to wound care in rural areas [25,26].…”
