Pretrained computer vision classifier

Identify cut infection with one API call.

A pretrained cut infection classifier that sorts an image into one of 2 categories. Use the cut infection API immediately, no training required, then adapt it to your own data when you need more.

What this cut infection classifier recognizes

A sample of the 2 labels this pretrained classifier chooses between.

Infected
Not Infected

Need a label that isn't here? Clone the classifier into your Nyckel console and edit the label set to fit your data.

Call the cut infection API

Once you've added this classifier to your console, you get your own copy of it behind your own endpoint. Invoke it with any HTTP client:

curl

curl -X POST "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NYCKEL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}'

Python

import requests

# Get an access token: https://www.nyckel.com/docs/api/overview/authentication/
token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

response = requests.post(
    "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token},
    json={"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"},
)
print(response.json())

Example response

{
  "labelName": "Infected",
  "labelId": "label_...",
  "confidence": 0.92
}

Under the hood

Model type
Nyckel-trained

Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 2 cut infection categories, served on Nyckel's own infrastructure — your image stays on Nyckel.

Input
Image

Send an image URL or file to the invoke endpoint; the response is a label with a confidence score.

Make it yours
Adaptable

Clone it, then correct predictions and add your own samples in the console — Nyckel retrains automatically, turning this into a custom model tuned to your data.

More than a demo: this page is one of thousands of pretrained functions on Nyckel, an ML classification platform. You can invoke classifiers by API, review predictions, correct labels, collect samples from production traffic, and promote any pretrained function to a private custom model — without changing your integration.

Where teams use cut infection classification

Healthcare Triage

Doctors and healthcare professionals can use this function to quickly categorize and prioritize patients based on the seriousness of their wound infections. This reduces waiting times and leads to more efficient healthcare service delivery.

Telehealth Diagnostics

Online telehealth services can integrate this function into their platforms to enable clients to securely send images of their wounds for digital analysis, leading to quick diagnosis of potential infections.

Surgical Site Monitoring

The image classification function can be applied in post-surgical care to help medical staff monitor surgical sites for infections and initiate appropriate treatment promptly.

Home Care Assistance

Healthcare apps providing home care assistance can implement this function to help users identify if the injuries they've suffered at home are infected, thus preventing misinterpretation and delayed medical attention.

War Zone/Disaster Area Medical Support

In areas with limited access to healthcare professionals, this algorithm can help non-medical personnel identify infections in wounds, ensuring timely treatment and reducing complication rates.

Animal Care and Veterinary Medicine

Veterinarians or pet owners can use this function to analyze cuts or wounds on animals, facilitating early detection and treatment of infections.

Laboratory Research

Researchers studying wound infections can use this function to classify and segregate samples quickly, increasing efficiency and accuracy in their work.

Common questions

What's the difference between a zero-shot and a Nyckel-trained classifier?

A zero-shot classifier uses a large foundation model's general knowledge to pick between your labels — no task-specific training, so new or edited labels work immediately. A Nyckel-trained classifier has been trained on labeled examples and runs on Nyckel's own infrastructure, which typically makes it faster, cheaper per call, and more accurate on data that resembles its training set. The "Under the hood" section on this page shows which kind this classifier is, and any classifier can be adapted into a trained one by adding your own examples.

How do I know whether this will work for my application?

Honestly: we can't know in advance — it depends on your data stream and how closely it resembles what this classifier has seen. The reliable way to find out is to measure it on your own data: start invoking the classifier with real traffic, or upload and annotate a set of images in the console — make sure they look like your production data, not idealized examples. Nyckel's evaluation metrics then show you exactly how it performs on that data before you rely on it.

What happens when it makes a mistake?

No classifier is perfect, so Nyckel is built around the correction loop: invokes can be captured for review, you confirm or correct predictions in the console, and corrections become training data. Over time the model adapts to your data distribution — accuracy on your traffic improves with use rather than staying fixed.

Do I need training data to get started?

No. This cut infection classifier works out of the box — clone it into your console and you'll have your own API endpoint in under a minute. Training data only enters the picture when you want to adapt it: your corrected predictions and uploaded samples improve the model, and you can also edit the label set to match your needs.

What does it cost to try?

Trying the classifier on this page is free with no signup. Cloning it requires a free account, and the free tier covers your first API calls each month — see nyckel.com/pricing for current limits and paid tiers.

Ready to classify cut infection at scale?

Add this pretrained classifier to your Nyckel console — you'll get a live API endpoint in under a minute, and a path to a custom model when you need one.
