The paper introduces two YOLOv11-based instance segmentation models that simultaneously perform wound boundary segmentation and wound classification across five clinically relevant wound types. Using a balanced dataset of 2,963 annotated images and data augmentation, the models achieve high performance, with YOLOv11x excelling in boundary segmentation and YOLOv11m and YOLOv11l leading in classification metrics. The lightweight YOLOv11n variant offers comparable accuracy with lower computational demands, making it suitable for resource-constrained clinical and remote care deployments.
The paper introduces the Semantic Tri-view Pipeline, an interpretable system that automatically screens teledermatology photographs for gradability by analyzing epidermal micro-relief across up to three smartphone views. It uses a lightweight DeepLabV3+ model to segment micro-relief fidelity and aggregates the resulting spatial masks with logistic regression, leveraging viewpoint redundancy to improve robustness. Evaluated on the SCIN dataset, the approach raises the AUC from 0.81 to 0.96 on optically clear cases, offering real‑time, privacy‑by‑design feedback to filter ungradable photo sets before clinician review.
Wound3DAssist is a practical framework that creates 3D wound models from short handheld videos taken with consumer‑grade devices, enabling non‑contact, automatic measurements of wound surfaces. The system integrates 3D reconstruction, wound segmentation, tissue classification, and periwound analysis into a modular workflow. Evaluations on digital models, silicone phantoms, and real patients show millimeter‑scale reconstruction accuracy and multi‑view tissue composition analysis, with full assessments completed in under 20 minutes.
arXiv:2606. 07542v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative AI is reshaping healthcare, yet most existing advances rely on hospital-grade devices, which limits their accessibility and potential for health management outside clinical settings.
arXiv:2608. 12745v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical AI has demonstrated specialist-level diagnostic accuracy, yet these capabilities remain largely inaccessible in resource-constrained rural settings where bandwidth is scarce, compute is limited, and clinical decision-making requires integrating heterogeneous modalities.
Medical AI has demonstrated specialist-level diagnostic accuracy, yet these capabilities remain largely inaccessible in resource-constrained rural settings where bandwidth is scarce, compute is limited, and clinical decision-making requires integrating heterogeneous modalities. We introduce a cloud--edge collaborative architecture that addresses these constraints: lightweight, domain-specific models on the edge transform raw medical data into compact structured outputs, while a cloud LLM synthesizes these outputs into clinical summaries.
