AI learns to see burns on hands, head, and feet
NCT ID NCT07677657
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an AI-powered imaging device called DeepView to see if it can accurately assess burn injuries on the hands, head, and feet. Researchers will collect images from people with burns in these areas to train and improve the AI system. The goal is to help doctors make faster, more precise decisions about burn treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DeepView AI System (imaging device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI system could help doctors quickly and accurately assess burn severity on hands, head, and feet, guiding better treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on data collection and AI training, not a treatment. The AI may not perform as well as expected in real-world settings.
Why investors are watching
Spectral AI, Inc. is a micro-cap company whose value depends on its DeepView AI System for burn assessment. This trial expands the system's approved use to burns on the hands, head/face, and feet, which would make the product useful for more patients. A successful readout matters because it could broaden the product's market and support regulatory approval, a key step for a small company with few other products.
If it works: If the updated AI performs as well on these new body areas as it does on existing ones, Spectral AI could gain clearance to sell DeepView for a wider range of burn injuries. That could make the product more attractive to hospitals and burn centers, potentially increasing revenue for the company.
If it fails: The trial could fail to show the AI works well on hands, head/face, or feet, which would delay or block expanded approval. Clinical trials often fail, and for a micro-cap company, a negative result or a delay could hurt its prospects and share price.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Willing and able to give informed consent, have a witnessed verbal consent, family discussion if intubated and retrospective consent for those that are intubated 2. Life expectancy \> 1 month 3. Thermal burn mechanism (flame, scald, or contact) 4. The Study Burn(s) occurred less than 72 hours prior to the time of first imaging 5. Minimum burn wound size for adult or paediatric participants is 0.25% TBSA per region 6. Have burn(s) on the head, hands and/or feet that meet the criteria for a Study Burn. If multiple regions meet the Study Burn criteria, per the discretion of the Investigator, all Study Burn regions should be included. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Sepsis at the time of enrolment 2. Infection of the burn wound at the time of enrolment 3. Immunosuppression / radiation / chemotherapy \< 3 months prior to enrolment 4. Concurrent use of investigational products with a known effect on the burn sites; and/or imaging 5. Concurrent use of products such as chemical debriding agents, skin substitutes and others that the principal investigator deems will have an impact on the image quality and healing potential of a Study Burn 6. Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may prevent compliance with the study requirements or compromise Participant safety 7. Participants without a burn on the hands, feet, head or neck, or burns located on these regions only on the palmar or plantar surfaces 8. Chemical or any other non-thermal burns 8\. Participants anticipated to or undergoing enzymatic debridemen9
