The approach of this study is generalizable to any medical illness with discrete symptoms or visible signs that can be captured by photographs. The catalytic potential of this work includes advances in the monitoring of complex medical care at home by creating and evaluating the interface between patient, provider, and AI technology and advances in infection prevention research through the creation of a regional healthcare-associated infections database for other researchers to efficiently study this unique group of patients.
