Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to monitoring risk factors of a pressure ulcer candidate (e.g., stationary body part(s) of the pressure ulcer candidate for a significant time period, equipment/wires affecting irritation of the pressure ulcer candidate and poor peripheral perfusion of the pressure ulcer candidate). To monitor such risk factors, a pressure ulcer risk assessment system of the present disclosure employs one or more cameras (20) for generating imaging data of the pressure ulcer candidate, and/or one or more physiological sensors (30) for generating physiological data of the pressure ulcer candidate. The system further employs a pressure ulcer risk assessment controller (120) for ascertaining a pressure ulcer risk of the pressure ulcer candidate by inputting the imaging data and/or the physiological data into a clinical decision support engine (60) to render a prediction and/or a classification of the pressure ulcer risk of the pressure ulcer candidate.
