Recently, the scientific research team of the National University of Singapore has developed a smart medical bandage that can monitor chronic wounds in real time and quickly manage the symptoms and potential risks. This research has played a key role in wound healing of patients and health care of the aging population. .

Smart medical bandages can wirelessly assess chronic wounds in real time through an application at the medical service point.

It is described as the world's first sensor to detect specific temperature, pH, bacterial types and inflammatory factors in chronic wounds.

The ability to start collecting data within 15 minutes enables caregivers to quickly and accurately assess wounds. The goal is to better treat those suffering from chronic non-healing wounds, including diabetic foot and chronic venous leg ulcers.

Researchers estimate that approximately 2% of the world’s population suffers from chronic wounds.
