Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the landscape of skin and wound care by improving diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, and patient outcomes. Artificial intelligence–driven tools, including machine learning models and large language models (LLMs), enhance the precision of wound assessments, facilitate early infection detection, and streamline clinical workflows. In addition, these tools may aid in patient symptom reporting, bridging the communication gap between patients and health care providers. Current AI applications include image recognition for wound classification, patient-facing symptom-checking chatbots, and personalized treatment recommendations. The integration of AI technologies not only supports better clinical decision-making but also empowers patients through improved access, engagement, and education. These tools are currently aimed at supporting clinical decision-making, not replacing clinicians. Moving forward, the expansion of AI capabilities in skin and wound care holds great promise, driving cost-effective, scalable, and equitable health care solutions.
