Spectral AI, which develops AI tools for medical diagnostics, received full UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) authorization for its predictive software DeepView AI-Burn. The software helps clinicians assess a wound’s healing potential prior to medical intervention. The company also enrolled its first patient a study to validate DeepView AI for burn size and healing assessments and plans to seek FDA marketing authorization for the software in 2025. It is also investigating other clinical applications for DeepView, including its use for venous leg ulcers, critical limb ischemia, guided therapy, and more (1).
