Chronic wounds are a common condition that affects a patient's quality of life and drives the cost of health care delivery high. Vigilant wound assessment and close monitoring using adequate and reliable methods and technology are vital to wound care management. Wound assessment, including visual evaluation of tissue and surrounding skin, and measurements are essential in developing an appropriate care plan. Usually, this visual evaluation is accomplished by photographic images, measuring guides, and depth probing. Artificial intelligence may offer ways to increase assessment accuracy, enhance treatment plans, optimize patient-clinician face time, and increase clinicians' access to improve wound care outcomes.
