FEUP researchers use AI to evaluate malignant wounds

Researchers at FEUP have developed a method using artificial intelligence and advanced image processing techniques to assist in the evaluation of malignant wounds in patients with advanced cancer. This technology is intended to complement traditional clinical assessment methods.

Duarte Nuno Silva Fonseca received the 2026 Master's Prize from the Ordem dos Engenheiros – Região Norte for this research, which was conducted under the guidance of Filipe Pereira and Joaquim Gabriel Mendes.
