Three-dimensional reconstruction and evaluation of decubitus using a 3d scanner

Abstract

The aim of this study is to improve the field of patient care in medicine by utilizing information technology, as well as to help, assist nurses and doctors in their work and accelerate patients' recovery. In the case of long-term, mostly elderly patients, a condition known as chronic pressure ulcer, decubitus, or pressure sore may develop. Treating these decubitus ulcers takes time and patience. In order to find the appropriate treatment, it can be helpful to gather as much data as possible about the wound and categorize the severity type based on these collected data. This problem will be addressed and explored using the potential of artificial intelligence and three-dimensional digitisation.
