For clinicians and care teams

Turn an image stream into a prioritised, reviewable clinical workflow.

Healing Process brings original photographs, quality information, patient-reported change, secure messages and review outcomes into one auditable view—without presenting the algorithm as the clinician.

Clinician reviewing a Healing Process dashboard
Human decision pointThe system may support prioritisation; the authorised reviewer determines clinical action.
Clinical boundary: image alignment and comparison may highlight apparent visual change, but they do not diagnose infection, healing, deterioration or any condition. Originals stay available, confidence and limitations are shown, and a suitably qualified person makes clinical decisions.

A closed-loop workflow

From submission to documented outcome

Intake

Identity, episode, consent, image and user concern arrive together.

Quality

Check original, capture quality, alignment and limitations.

Prioritise

Use protocol, reported symptoms and context—not a visual score alone.

Review

Assess history and communicate within the defined service model.

Act

Advise, arrange assessment, escalate or continue planned review.

Close

Record decision, rationale, owner, safety-netting and next date.

Visibility without information overload

The most important queue information should be visible before opening the full record.

What must remain visible

AreaMinimum informationSafety purpose
Person and episodeVerified identifiers, pathway, care location, named service and review hours.Avoid wrong-person, wrong-pathway and unmonitored assumptions.
Source recordBaseline original, follow-up original, date/time, device/capture data and user notes.Preserve provenance and permit independent review.
Derived comparisonMethod/version, alignment status, quality warnings, confidence and a clear “derived image” label.Prevent manipulated imagery being mistaken for an original.
Clinical contextRelevant history supplied by the integrated record or local workflow; do not infer it from pixels.Avoid image-only decisions.
ActionReviewer identity, decision, rationale, advice, escalation, appointment and next review.Provide a closed, auditable loop.

Communication example

Messages should be clinically meaningful, bounded and actionable

Review and reply in context
Review and reply in contextThe fictional thread sits beside the review queue and appointment outcome.

Good practice

  • Acknowledge the specific concern rather than sending a generic greeting.
  • Ask only questions needed to decide the next safe action.
  • State whether the person needs emergency, urgent, same-day, routine or planned review using the provider’s protocol.
  • Book or identify the owner of the next action rather than shifting responsibility back ambiguously.
  • Give safety-netting and a route if the message is not answered.
  • Record clinically significant communication in the authoritative patient record according to local policy.

Messaging is not a substitute

Do not continue an asynchronous conversation where direct assessment, telephone triage or emergency escalation is needed.

Operating controls

Before a live queue accepts patient information

Ownership

Named clinical safety officer, service owner, data controller roles and operational rota.

Protocols

Defined inclusion, exclusion, urgency, escalation, downtime and failed-contact rules.

Competence

Role-based access, training, supervision, calibration and competency records.

Assurance

Clinical safety case, hazard log, DPIA, security testing, accessibility testing and post-market monitoring as applicable.

Design the service around safe ownership

Use the provider page and deployment checklist to define the pathway, team, review windows, integration and governance before a live pilot.
