AI-Assisted Skin Assessment for Pressure Injury Prevention in Critical Care Nurses
Saudi Arabia90 participantsStarted 2025-11-24
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted skin assessment tool can improve the accuracy of pressure-injury staging in critical-care nurses. The study also aims to understand whether the AI tool increases nurses' knowledge and confidence in performing skin assessments. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does AI-assisted assessment improve the accuracy of pressure-injury staging compared with standard visual assessment?
Does the use of AI improve nurses' knowledge and confidence related to skin assessment and pressure-injury staging?
Researchers will compare nurses who use an AI-assisted mobile application with nurses who perform standard manual assessments to see whether the AI tool improves staging accuracy and supports early identification of pressure injuries.
Participants will:
Complete brief questionnaires about their knowledge and confidence before and after training
Perform skin assessments on their assigned ICU patients using either standard methods or the AI tool.
Have their assessments compared with those of a blinded wound-care specialist, who will determine the most accurate staging

Inclusion criteria
* Nurses working within the organisation for at least 6 months
* Nurses involved in direct patient care for over 50% of their work time.
* Skin assessments and staging for patients at risk for developing pressure injuries (Using the Braden Scoring system).
* Adult Patients (18 years and older)
* Patients who are currently admitted to the ICU and are receiving critical care treatment.
* No current severe skin conditions patients without active severe dermatological conditions (e.g., large open wounds, severe rashes) that would interfere with the AI-based skin assessment process.
Exclusion criteria
* Nurses working within the organization for less than 6 months
* Nurses involved in direct patient care for less than 50% of their work time
* End-of-Life Care or Terminal Illness- patients receiving end-of-life care or those with a terminal diagnosis, where the prevention of pressure injuries may not be a priority and where participation in the study may not align with their care goals.
* Severe or active dermatological conditions- patients with active skin conditions such as severe rashes, burns, or other dermatological issues that could interfere with accurate skin assessments by AI or confound the study results.
* Recent Skin Grafts or Advanced Wound Care- patients who have recently undergone skin grafts or those receiving complex wound care treatments that are outside the scope of typical pressure injury prevention practices.
* Inability to Maintain Requir…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
