Chronic wound healing will be affected by various factors. These may include, but are not limited to: acidity, temperature, and glucose level. It is generally considered that the most important factor is the moisture content, because if the wound has too much moisture, it will become wet and wrinkle, and too dry will cause the tissue to become dry. Either situation will have a negative impact on the wound healing process.

The smart bandage measures the moisture content and sends the data to a nearby mobile phone, eliminating the need for professionals to remove the bandage for evaluation.

Researchers believe that adjusting the geometry and materials of products may allow them to be customized for different types of wounds, which means that wound monitoring will be more successful. But it turns out that finding the right material is difficult because certain features are crucial. They must be cheap, biocompatible and disposable.

During the test, the researchers exposed the bandage to fluid that leaked from the wound. They found that the product was extremely sensitive, and the readings under different humidity conditions were "very different".

Dr. Marta Tessarolo from the University of Bologna said: “PEDOT:PS is an organic semiconducting polymer that can be easily deposited on a variety of substrates as a standard ink. We have also incorporated cheap, disposable and bandage-compatible in the textile patch RFID tags are just like the tags used for clothing security tags."

Dr. Luca Possanzini, one of the authors of the study, said: “We have developed a series of bandages with different layers and different absorption properties and characteristics. The idea is that each type of wound can have its own suitable dressing, from slow exudation. From wounds to massively exuding wounds, such as burns and blisters. However, before applying our technology to various types of wounds, we need to further optimize the sensor geometry and determine the appropriate sensor values ​​to achieve the best healing. "
