The motivation behind the project:
According to PolSenior research, the caregiving process for elderly individuals is mainly carried out by family members. Pressure ulcers, under favorable conditions, can develop in a patient in a matter of hours. Diagnosing pressure ulcers requires a thorough assessment of their appearance, a task that so far only a qualified person can perform.
The goal of the project ‘Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Recognition of Skin Changes, with a focus on Pressure Ulcers’ is to provide caregivers of individuals at risk of pressure ulcers with a cost-effective and efficient method for assessing the risk of pressure ulcer development and the severity of existing ulcers. This will be achieved by employing the indicated methods of commercialization.
