DeepView trial for burn-healing assessment
Newcastle Hospitals trialled AI burn assessment in 41 adult cases
Problem
Burn specialists needed to assess wound depth and likely healing to choose treatment. Their established laser Doppler imaging assessments could begin 48 hours after injury.
Approach
The Northern Regional Burn Centre trialled Spectral AI's DeepView across its adult service. The device combined multispectral imaging with AI and could assess wounds on the first day after injury. Clinicians used it on wards and in operating theatres, comparing its assessments with clinical findings.
Results
Takeaway
The trial established practical use across clinical settings. The trust reported favourable staff feedback but disclosed no predictive-accuracy or patient-outcome results.
