Augmented Reality to improve telemedicine delivery and wound research
This project will use an augmented reality telehealth toolset to revolutionise the assessment and treatment of leg and foot wounds associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It will allow a specialist team in a city hub to see through the eyes of rural health workers to accurately diagnose and treat these wounds. This will allow health professionals to act as one team across locations, reducing rates of emergency hospitalisation for patients while allowing them to stay near their home communities as much as possible. This technology will use artificial intelligence to automatically measure wounds, which will be particularly useful for clinical scientists to measure wound healing in research seeking to prevent amputations.
