AI can read a wound, but only humans can heal the patient

Artificial intelligence (AI) is steadily transforming healthcare, reshaping everything from diagnostics and drug discovery to patient monitoring and telemedicine. Wound care, once almost entirely dependent on a physical consultation, is now entering the AI era. A person can photograph a cut, burn or abrasion, upload it to an AI-powered application and receive an instant assessment, complete with possible diagnoses, severity ratings and first-aid recommendations.
