Abstract

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a devastating, genetic blistering condition caused by the absence of type VII collagen (C7), affecting the mucosa and skin. Patients often have recurrent and chronic open wounds, but one of the major barriers to the development of clinical trials is the lack of understanding of the natural history of RDEB wounds, as the measurement of target wound change has not been studied prospectively or validated. We conducted a longitudinal, clinical observational study of 10 patients with RDEB who used a mobile phone photography application, with built-in machine learning, to outline and track RDEB wounds autonomously.
