Burn injuries often change over time. What begins as redness or pain can later involve deeper tissue damage, infection concerns, nerve pain, grafting, or scar-management treatment.
A typical online “AI estimate” may ask you for basic details (burn type, treatment, time out of work). What it can’t do is:
- review your ER records, operative reports, and follow-up notes
- evaluate how your range of motion or grip strength changed
- confirm whether your symptoms match the burn mechanism described
- predict whether you’ll need additional procedures in the months after the initial injury
That’s why an AI output is best treated as a checklist—not a final answer.
