No matter how much experience a medical professional has under their belt, spotting whether a severe burn is healing nicely or at risk of infection is no easy task. Sometimes the details that reveal the condition of burn are so miniscule that they cannot be seen, but soon enough doctors may not have to rely on their eyes. Instead, artificial intelligence can use it’s enormous troves of medical imagery and advanced imaging technologies to spot hidden insights that may be unseen to the human eye.
