Medical databases are a special case of biomedical data resource and can range from bibliographies, such as [[PubMed]], to image databases for the development of AI based diagnostic software. For instance, one such image database was developed with the goal of aiding in the development of wound monitoring algorithms.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Chronic Wounds Multimodal Image Database |journal=Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics |year=2021 |last=Kręcichwost |first=Michał |volume=88 |page=101844 |doi=10.1016/j.compmedimag.2020.101844 |pmid=33477091 |s2cid=231676950 |url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compmedimag.2020.101844 |accessdate=2022-05-05 |url-access=subscription }}</ref> Over 188 multi-modal image sets were curated from 79 patient visits, consisting of photographs, thermal images, and 3D mesh depth maps. Wound outlines were manually drawn and added to the photo datasets.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://chronicwounddatabase.eu/ |title=Chronic Wound Database |work=WoundsDB |publisher=Silesian University of Technology |date=2020 |accessdate=2022-05-05 }}</ref> The database was made publicly available in the form of a program called WoundsDB, downloadable from the Chronic Wound Database website.
