Research Focus
Dr. Anuradha Godavarty's lab focuses on developing innovative smartphone-based tools to improve the assessment and management of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). By combining imaging technology with machine learning algorithms, their goal is to create a device that can accurately analyze wound oxygenation and characteristics, which is crucial for timely clinical intervention. This research places a strong emphasis on inclusivity, ensuring that the tools developed can address the needs of diverse patient populations with varying skin tones.
