Teams at a Newcastle hospital have become the first in the world to trial a medical tool which uses artificial intelligence to help predict how quickly burns will heal. The device, known as DeepView, is being tested at the Northern Regional Burn Centre, at the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI), with the aim of bringing benefits to staff and patients. The tool can be used from the day of a person's injury, providing information about the burn which cannot be seen by eye.
