Abstract: One embodiment provides a robotic system comprising: a robot, the robot further comprising a moveable robotic arm that moves within the robot's reference space; a depth-sensing camera, the camera having a reference frame that is in substantial view of the robot's reference space; a controller, the controller further comprising a processor and a computer readable memory that comprises instructions such that, when read by the controller, the controller inputs image data from the camera and sends signals to the moveable robotic arm, the instructions further comprising the steps of: calibrating the camera to the robot by instructing the robot to engage in a number of robot poses; extracting the location of the robot poses to obtain the robot poses in the camera reference frame; and creating a transformation that transforms robot points afterwards to camera points.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a wound management system and method for predicting and treating wounds. The method includes collecting data relating to a patient's health and applying a machine learning model to the data relating to the patient's health to predict a first probability that the patient will sustain a first wound type outside of a care setting. The method also includes, in response to determining that the first probability exceeds a threshold, determining an action that reduces the first probability and communicating, to the patient, a message indicating the action should be taken to reduce the first probability that the patient will sustain the first wound type.
