In severe case, skin contraction takes place at such a large extent that joint mobility of a patient is significantly inhibited. In these cases, one refers to a contracture. In order to predict the evolution of post-wounding skin, several mathematical model frameworks have been set up. These frameworks are based on complicated systems of partial differential equations that need finite element-like discretizations for the approximation of the solution. Since these computational frameworks can be expensive in terms of computation time and resources, we study the applicability of neural networks to reproduce the finite element results. Our neural network is able to simulate the evolution of skin in terms of contraction for over one year. The simulations are based on 25 input parameters that are characteristic for the patient and the injury. One of such input parameters is the stiffness of the skin. The neural network results have yielded an average goodness of fit (<jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$R^2$$<\/jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                  <mml:msup>\n                    <mml:mi>R<\/mml:mi>\n                    <mml:mn>2<\/mml:mn>\n                  <\/mml:msup>\n                <\/mml:math><\/jats:alternatives><\/jats:inline-formula>) of 0.9928 (\u00b1 0.0013). Further, a tremendous speed-up of 19354X was obtained with the neural network. We illustrate the applicability by an online medical App that takes into account the age of the patient and the length of the burn.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00521-021-06772-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,30]],"date-time":"2022-01-30T07:02:31Z","timestamp":1643526151000},"page":"8635-8642","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A Bayesian finite-element trained machine learning approach for predicting post-burn contraction"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3601-6496","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ginger","family":"Egberts","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Marianne","family":"Schaaphok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2212-1711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fred","family":"Vermolen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3461-8848","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul van","family":"Zuijlen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"6772_CR1","unstructured":"(2018) WHO: World health organisation, fact sheet, burns, 06-03-2018. https:\/\/www.who.int\/en\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/burns.
