Abstract

BACKGROUND: The development of models using deep learning (DL) to assess pressure injuries from wound images has recently gained attention. Creating enough supervised data is important for improving performance but is time-consuming. Therefore, the development of models that can achieve high performance with limited supervised data is desirable.
