Spectral AI to Participate in National Burn Awareness Week 2026 February 1–7, 2026

DALLAS, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spectral AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDAI) (“Spectral AI” or the “Company”), an artificial intelligence (AI) company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, today announced that it will join the American Burn Association (ABA) to promote practical, life-saving burn prevention strategies for workplaces of all types during this year’s National Burn Awareness Week.

In support of this annual event, Spectral AI will host a series of internal activities to engage employees, including inspiring messages from leadership, personal stories from biomedical engineers highlighting the importance of innovation in burn care, and interactive burn education.

ABA’s theme this year, “Burn Prevention Where You Live, Work, and Play – Preventing Burns in the Workplace,” highlights how small, proactive safety steps can prevent serious injuries. 

“We feel uniquely qualified to address the issue of burn prevention and welcome the opportunity to support the ABA in raising awareness and promoting education that helps reduce burn injuries and protect workplaces,” said J. Michael DiMaio, MD, Chairman of the Board of Spectral AI.

In June 2025, Spectral AI submitted its De Novo submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its DeepView® System, a non-invasive, predictive medical device and associated software platform that combines multispectral imaging with a proprietary AI algorithm to assess the healing potential of burn wounds. The DeepView System provides clinicians with a non-healing prediction on the same day of injury and up to a week (7 days) post injury. This data-driven assessment enables earlier and more informed treatment decisions that may significantly improve patient outcomes.

Prevent Burn Injuries Where You Work

Burn risks exist in every workplace, from kitchens to offices to factories. Burn injuries continue to be a significant public health issue, with an estimated 600,000 individuals annually suffering a burn injury which merits emergent care in the United States. Taking simple, proactive steps can keep everyone safe.

Top 5 Burn Prevention Tips:

1. Wear Protective Gear: Use PPE (personal protection equipment) like gloves, aprons, helmets, or flame-resistant clothing whenever handling hot surfaces, chemicals, or machinery. 
2. Handle Heat Safely: Monitor hot oil, boiling liquids, ovens, and machinery; open lids away from your face and never leave heat sources unattended.
3. Inspect & Maintain Equipment: Check cords, tools, vehicles, and machines for damage or overheating, and follow safety protocols during maintenance.
4. Control Flammables: Store fuels, chemicals, and combustible materials properly, keep them away from heat, and avoid sparks or open flames.
5. Know Emergency Procedures: Keep fire extinguishers and first aid kits accessible, know exit routes, and practice emergency drills regularly.
