The impact of machine learning on the prediction of diabetic foot ulcers – A systematic review

A variety of machine learning models were suggested to successfully classify DFUs from healthy skin, or to inform the prediction of DFUs. The proposed machine learning models may have the potential to inform the clinical practice of managing DFUs and may help to improve outcomes for individuals with DFUs. Future research may benefit from the development of a standard device and algorithm that detects, diagnoses and predicts the progress of DFUs.
