1. A method of determining a wound healing rate of a wound or a portion thereof on a subject, comprising:
obtaining image data comprising an image of a wound or a portion thereof of a subject;
automatically segmenting the image into a plurality of regions by a first trained model;
automatically determining a boundary of a wound area of the wound or portion thereof by a second trained model based on the plurality of regions from segmentation;
determining three-dimensional characteristics of the wound area comprising a length, a width, and a depth of the wound or portion thereof,
determining a wound healing rate of the wound based on the three-dimensional characteristics of the wound area and using the equation:
V/P=−D(c)*t+q,
where V is a volume of wound, P is a perimeter of wound, Dc is a continuous linear healing rate, t is time in between evaluation, and q is time of closure;
predicting an area reduction of the wound or a portion thereof over a predetermined time period; and
determining an actual amount of area reduction of the wound or portion thereof over the predetermined time period.
