Predicting Time-to-Healing from a Digital Wound Image: A Hybrid Neural Network and Decision Tree Approach Improves Performance

Aravind Kolli    
Qi Wei and Stephen A. Ramsey    

Resumen

In this work, we explored computational methods for analyzing a color digital image of a wound and predicting (from the analyzed image) the number of days it will take for the wound to fully heal. We used a hybrid computational approach combining deep neural networks and decision trees, and within this hybrid approach, we explored (and compared the accuracies of) different types of models for predicting the time to heal. More specifically, we explored different models for finding the outline of the wound within the wound image and we proposed a model for computing the proportions of different types of tissues within the wound bed (e.g., fibrin slough, granulation, or necrotic tissue). Our work clarifies what type of model should be used for the computational prediction of wound time-to-healing and establishes that, in order to predict time-to-healing accurately, it is important to incorporate (into the model) data on the proportions of different types in the wound bed.
