Automatic foot ulcer segmentation using conditional generative adversarial network (AFSegGAN): A wound management system

Author summary Wound care protocol refers to setting systematic and evidence-based guidelines that healthcare providers follow to assess, manage, and treat wounds. Effective wound care is essential to prevent further complications, promote healing and reduce the risk of infection and other health issues. In addendum, accurate wound quantitative assessment is crucial in developing appropriate treatment plans as different types of wounds require a unique approach to healing. The post-COVID effect has accelerated the remote or m-health technology in the healthcare sector. Thus, we sought to assess the feasibility of wound health and provide a healing rate, which facilities continuous monitoring of the wound to physician and educates the patient. Thereby it elevates the patient’s confidence in using the app without assistance. The proposed system demonstrates the feasibility of remote wound care for continuous monitoring.
