Snap your stitches: new app lets docs check wounds from home
NCT ID NCT07391735
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a smartphone app called MyHealthPal that lets patients take and upload photos of their surgical wounds after surgery. An AI program and a healthcare provider review the images to predict infection risk. About 150 adults having certain surgeries will either use the app or receive standard care. The goal is to see if the app can reliably monitor healing and catch infections early without extra clinic visits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
MyHealthPal smartphone app
What this could lead to
If successful, this app could help doctors spot wound infections earlier and reduce the need for in-person visits after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 150 participants. The app's accuracy and patient compliance are still being tested, so it may not work for everyone.
