Biomedical engineers from Duke University and Nokia Bell Labs developed a non-invasive imaging platform to monitor wound healing [1][2]. The system combines optical coherence tomography (OCT) with deep learning algorithms to assess tissue regeneration [1][3]. Clinicians can now measure vascular changes beneath the skin’s surface without traditional biopsies [1][2]. This technology provides objective data on how wounds heal in real-time [3]. It offers more accuracy than standard visual inspections used by doctors [1]. By analyzing deep skin layers, the AI helps predict recovery outcomes for patients [2][3].
