What is Pixacare’s AI used for?
Pixacare’s AI automatically measures and analyzes wounds from calibrated photos.
It standardizes clinical observations, improves measurement reliability, and helps clinicians objectively track healing over time.
How does AI-based wound measurement work?
To enable automatic measurement, a calibration sticker is placed on healthy skin near the wound before taking a photo.
Pixacare provides real-time visual feedback:
- Green indicators confirm proper calibration
- Red indicators signal that the photo should be retaken
Once validated, the AI:
- Automatically outlines the wound
- Calculates surface area in cm²
- Analyzes tissue composition (granulation tissue, fibrin/slough, necrosis) and estimates their relative proportions
How can calibration stickers be obtained?
Calibration stickers are included with paid plans (Pro, Facility, or Research).
When supplies run low, users can contact customer support to request more. Restocking is typically shipped within 48 business hours.
For Research plans, stickers may be treated as a consumable and supplied separately, depending on contract terms.
Does Pixacare’s AI provide a diagnosis?
No. Pixacare’s AI provides objective measurements and visual analysis only.
Clinical interpretation and medical decisions always remain the responsibility of the healthcare professional.
How does AI support clinical research?
By standardizing measurements, Pixacare’s AI establishes a consistent measurement reference across sites and studies.
This supports reliable, traceable, and auditable data, making it well suited for RWE projects and multicenter clinical trials.
Has Pixacare’s AI been clinically validated?
Yes. The AI modules WoundTrack (semi-automated) and WoundSize (fully automated) were validated in the PIXAIRE1 study, conducted at Haguenau Hospital (Vascular Surgery Department).
Results (pending publication in the International Wound Journal) show a strong correlation between Pixacare measurements and digitized planimetry, the reference standard.
How is Pixacare’s AI developed?
Pixacare’s algorithms are trained on thousands of expert-annotated clinical images and validated through clinical studies.
Development follows an ISO 13485–certified quality management system, ensuring rigor, traceability, and safety.
Is the calibration technology patented?
Yes. Pixacare’s calibration sticker is based on a patented technology that automatically adjusts for color, angle, and distance.
This ensures reliable and consistent measurements, regardless of smartphone model or lighting conditions.
What certifications apply to Pixacare’s AI?
The WoundTrack II AI module obtained CE Class IIa certification in March 2026, under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) (notified body: DNV Product Assurance AS, No. 2460). It is intended for the monitoring of chronic wounds from 4 to 100 cm² in adults.
