Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of assessing or predicting wound healing comprising:
receiving, from at least one light detection element, a signal representing light of at least a first wavelength reflected from a tissue region comprising a wound or portion thereof;
generating, based on the signal, an image having a plurality of pixels depicting the tissue region;
determining, based on the signal, a reflectance intensity value at the first wavelength for each pixel of at least a subset of the plurality of pixels;
determining one or more quantitative features of the subset of the plurality of pixels based on the reflectance intensity values of each pixel of the subset; and
generating, using one or more machine learning algorithms, at least one scalar value based on the one or more quantitative features of the subset of the plurality of pixels, the at least one scalar value corresponding to a predicted amount of healing of the wound or portion thereof over a predetermined time interval following generation of the image.
