Hospital tests AI to stop bedsores in thousands of patients
NCT ID NCT07208747
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an intelligent computer program could help nurses better prevent and manage bedsores (pressure injuries) in hospitalized patients. Over 75,000 patients took part, and researchers compared data before and after using the program to see if it improved care. The goal was to make sure patients at risk get timely and accurate skin assessments.
