AI-Powered App to Document Bruises for Forensic and Clinical Use

George Mason University has developed an AI-driven mobile app prototype for clinical documentation of bruises, aiming to aid survivors of violence.

Key Details

  • 1George Mason University team created the Evidence-based AI Software for Injury Detection (EAS-ID) app, successfully completing Phase 1 prototype development.
  • 2The app uses AI to capture and document bruises, guiding clinicians to produce images and records that meet clinical and legal standards.
  • 3Initial funding of $4.85 million was received from an anonymous donor in March 2024.
  • 4The app supports real-time guidance, image quality control, and standardized documentation, targeting frontline and forensic nursing professionals.
  • 5AI training involves a large, diverse dataset, with a target of one million images collected; partnerships include Inova Health System and Adventist Healthcare.
  • 6A crowdsourcing initiative will expand data beyond controlled clinical environments to improve real-world applicability.

Why It Matters

Standardized, AI-guided imaging for bruise documentation could enhance clinical and legal reliability for forensic nursing and clinicians, especially in sensitive cases like interpersonal violence. The project's scale and real-world data efforts signal potential for broader adoption of imaging AI in frontline care settings.
