1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, an image captured by a capture device;
identifying, by the processor, a particular body part depicted in the image and a wound associated with the particular body part;
determining, by the processor and executing a machine-learned model using the image, a classification of the wound indicating the wound comprises a deep pressure injury, the machine-learned model being trained based on training data associated with wounded body parts matching the particular body part;
generating, by the processor and based at least in part on the classification of the wound, a treatment recommendation comprising wound care instructions, the treatment recommendation being tailored to a caregiver of a first caregiver type;
causing, by the processor, the classification of the wound and the treatment recommendation to be provided in a user interface rendered by a display device operably connected to the processor, the display device being associated with the first caregiver type;
preventing, by the processor, the treatment recommendation from being provided to a caregiver of a second caregiver type;
determining, by the processor and based on the image, that an in-person evaluation of the wound is needed;
determining, by the processor, a second computing device associated with a physician specialized in evaluating the wound; and
causing, by the processor, an alert requesting the physician evaluate the wound to be provided to a second user interface of the second computing device for display.
