Overview

Narrative review demonstrates applications of artificial intelligence in chronic wound care, highlighting improvements in remote monitoring alongside ongoing regulatory and algorithmic challenges.

Key Points

Review emerging and established artificial intelligence applications in wound care, addressing their clinical potential, integration pathways, and practical implementation challenges.
Synthesized literature on AI tools for chronic wounds, specifically venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers.
Assessed core AI functionalities including automated image analysis, infection detection, predictive modeling, and clinical decision support systems.
Evaluated deployment within digital health architectures, including wearable sensors, mobile health platforms, and remote patient monitoring infrastructure.
AI models qualitatively enhance the speed and diagnostic accuracy of chronic wound assessment and clinical management.
Combining AI with mobile health and wearable devices facilitates real-time remote patient monitoring and expanded telehealth capacity.
Successful clinical integration remains constrained by technical and ethical hurdles, specifically variable data quality, algorithmic bias, and regulatory validation.
