  • Abstract
    In this work we examine the potential of using digital images to classify regions appearing in pressure ulcer images and thus being able to have a diagnosis about the patient´s current state. We capitalize on telemedicine infrastructure, which can overcome difficulties posed by remote patient location, and we aim to provide diagnostic tools that will satisfy the above requirements.
