Smart Wound Patch • Capable of • Measuring wound healing parameters through embedded sensors in the patch (e.g. skin resistance, humidity, temperature, biochemical parameters); • Personalized and automatic interpretation of the gathered sensor data; • Report status of the wound healing to the patient, care givers, and physicians; • Drug delivery, adapted on the gathered sensor data.
Smart Wound Patch • Innovation • Integrating embedded sensors in smart patches • Data measurement, processing, interpretation, optimisation, storage and transfer • Market Relevance • Improved wound healing through continuous automatic monitoring • Reducedwound healing time, avoidance of complications and scar tissue • Business Impact • Innovative solution applicable in fields such as burns, post-surgery wounds, etc.
Smart Wound Patch • Available key partners • Intelligent data processing and interpretation • Critical sensor communication • Lab production of smart textiles components • Missing industrial partners with relevant expertise in the following fields: • wound healing mechanisms • pharmaceutics • sensor technology • patches production
