Artificial Intelligence-Supported Pressure Injury Prevention in ICU Patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional before-and-after study takes place in an adult ICU in Ankara. It compares the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries before and after implementing PRESS AI, a tool that integrates Braden risk scoring, skin and wound assessment, AI-based image analysis for staging, and a prevention/care algorithm. Nurses retain clinical judgment while using the AI-generated staging as decision support. Patients are followed daily for new injuries during their ICU stay. The primary outcome is the rate of hospital-acquired pressure injuries in the pre- and post-implementation periods.
