Smart Bandages Monitor and Tailor Treatment for Chronic Wounds

Chronic skin wounds from burns, diabetes, and other medical conditions can overwhelm the regenerative capabilities of the skin and often lead to persistent infections and amputations. Non-healing chronic wounds are a significant medical problem. Patients are often older, non-ambulatory, and limited in their ability to provide self-care, yet non-healing wounds are typically treated in an outpatient setting or at home.
