Abstract:
The management of chronic wounds presents significant challenges, characterized by a low rate of healing and substantial impairment of patients’ quality of life, while also exerting a considerable strain on healthcare resources. Wound healing is a multifactorial and dynamic process, necessitating close monitoring of wound changes and timely, appropriate interventions. Smart bandage/dressing, an innovative approach born from interdisciplinary research, offers a new generation of wound care. It enables dynamic quantitative monitoring of wound conditions, facilitates transdermal drug release and physical mode therapeutics, and adjusts interventions in real time based on monitoring outcomes. In comparison to traditional wound dressings, smart bandages exhibit attributes such as real-time responsiveness, precision, and convenience. They not only simplify wound management but also enhance patient comfort and compliance, showcasing potential as a safe and effective new treatment modality. Smart bandages hold promise for elevating the efficiency of managing chronic wounds, reducing morbidity rates, alleviating the burden of disease, and ultimately improving patients’ quality of life. This paper summarized the recent research progress of smart bandages and provide insights into novel wound care strategies.
