Technology Stack
Advanced AI and computer vision technology powering the future of wound care
Clinical Decision Support
SmartHeal operates as a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS). AI suggests measurements while the clinician retains full decision-making authority. All data remains in Australia via AWS Sydney.
- AWS Sydney: All processing and storage in Australia
- APPs: Australian Privacy Principles aligned for health information
- Clinician decides: The clinician checks and accepts every result
AI & Machine Learning Pipeline
Our proprietary AI engine processes wound images through multiple sophisticated layers of analysis, combining computer vision, deep learning, and clinical knowledge to support objective wound assessments.
Image Preprocessing
Advanced filtering and enhancement algorithms optimize image quality for accurate analysis
Wound Segmentation
Precise boundary detection using state-of-the-art semantic segmentation models
Measurement Analysis
Real-time calculation of wound length, width, area, and perimeter, reviewed and confirmed by the clinician
Wound Documentation
Helps clinicians record wound bed notes in a TIME framework layout. The clinician writes and confirms every entry.
Left heel
The clinician edits or accepts every outline.
Computer Vision Workflow
Every step below produces a suggestion for the clinician to review, edit, and confirm. No output is finalized without clinician sign-off.
Image Capture
High-resolution wound photography using smartphone cameras with guided capture interface
Auto-Segmentation
AI-powered boundary detection separates wound tissue from surrounding healthy skin
Data Extraction
Precise measurements and structured findings from segmented wound, presented to the clinician for review
Security
Enterprise-grade security measures supporting privacy and security obligations
Role-Based Access Control
Granular permissions system ensuring users only access appropriate patient data and system functions
Audit Trails
Comprehensive logging of all system activities, data access, and modifications, so every change can be reviewed
End-to-End Encryption
AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit, ensuring maximum security
Secure Infrastructure
Hosted on AWS Sydney infrastructure with enterprise-grade security controls
Automated Backups
Redundant backup systems with point-in-time recovery and disaster recovery protocols
TGA Regulatory Pathway
Currently operating as a CDSS. Our quality and software processes are guided by recognised medical device standards.
Australian Data Sovereignty
All data hosted on AWS Sydney. Processing, storage, and backups remain in Australia.
Partnerships & Research
Clinical validation and research collaboration at the core of our development process
Annotated Wound Image Dataset
Active data collection partnerships targeting 10,000+ clinician-annotated wound images across multiple wound types, body sites, and skin tones.
Clinical Advisory Board
Advisory board includes an internationally recognised burns surgeon and wound care leaders guiding clinical validation and product direction.
Clinician Co-Design
Working groups with wound specialists, podiatrists, and aged care nurses co-designing every workflow. The product is built by clinicians, for clinicians.
