Scientists are currently developing a smart bandage prototype equipped with sensors to communicate precious information in real time on all types of wounds in order to care for them without delay.
The research carried out by the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Belgium and sponsored by NATO has led to the development of a type of patch equipped with sensors capable of transmitting information such as the temperature, hydration level or acidity (pH) of an injury. In this way, doctors can know which patients require the most urgent care. This data can also be transmitted to a machine learning software program, which will also determine the severity of the wound and if care is urgently needed.
