IEEE Lafayette Section YP - IEEE Day Tech Chat
Come join us in celebrating IEEE Day 2025 with the IEEE Lafayette Section Young Professionals AG! IEEEDay marks the anniversary of the first gathering of engineers in 1884 who came together to share their technical ideas, laying the foundation of what IEEE is today. Each year, this day unites members worldwide to celebrate innovation, collaboration, and technology's impact on humanity. As part of our celebration, we're hosting a one-hour Tech Chat online talk, where members can engage in meaningful discussions, share insights, and connect with peers across the region. Let's come together virtually to honor our shared mission and celebrate advancing technology for humanity!

Revolutionizing Chronic Wound Care with Imaging and AI-Powered Telehealth
Chronic wounds and ulcers present a significant clinical challenge due to their prolonged healing time, high risk of infection, and frequent need for specialist monitoring. Traditional wound management methods often fall short in providing timely intervention, especially for patients in remote or underserved areas. This presentation explores an integrated approach combining advanced imaging technologies, machine learning, and telemedicine to revolutionize chronic wound care.
We propose a framework where high-resolution wound images are captured using mobile or portable imaging systems and analyzed through ML algorithms to classify wound types, predict healing progression, and identify potential complications. The system is designed to be embedded within a telemedicine platform, enabling clinicians to remotely monitor and manage patients while reducing hospital visits and improving care continuity.
Key components include real-time image processing, predictive analytics, patient data integration, and remote communication features. The presentation highlights case studies, data acquisition protocols, algorithm performance, and deployment strategies in clinical and rural settings. This multidisciplinary approach promises not only to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes but also to reduce healthcare costs and enhance patient satisfaction. The solution aligns with current trends in digital health, making it a timely and scalable model for modern wound care.
