The West London NHS Trust/Healthy.io was highly commended in the HTN AI and Data Awards 2025 for its work on the implementation of the Minuteful for Wound (MfW) AI digital wound management solution, enabling the standardised measurement and documentation of wounds and their monitoring over time.
With the system in place, clinicians can receive immediate support from colleagues, who can review images remotely and provide real-time advice. For managers, the system offers the ability to generate detailed reports on healing rates, improvements, deteriorations, and overall progress, enabling them to monitor outcomes more effectively and ensure better care delivery.
A community nurse using the app shared: “Handover and referrals are now much smoother, and wound progression is clearly visualised over time.”
A matron from the continence and tissue viability team said: “Using the app, our teams can now see wounds in real time and offer accurate clinical advice straight away. AI will never replace clinical judgment, but this tool enhances it—it’s transforming care delivery!”
Since implementing the MfW AI technology in July 2022, teams within local services, including district nursing, podiatry, and Clayponds hospital ward staff, have supported over 55,900 wound assessments for more than 3,100 patients. MfW enables clinicians to capture consistent, high-quality wound assessments via an app, improving communication and empowering staff at all levels.
Congratulations to all the staff and teams involved!
