Printed Flexible Sensor Patch for Smart Wound Monitoring

Devel­op­ment of dispos­able smart wound patch with printed, flex­ible sensors for real time non-inva­sive moni­toring of wound healing and infec­tion detec­tion.

Objectives

The goal is to enable contin­uous, non-inva­sive moni­toring of wound healing para­me­ters while improving patient comfort and supporting clin­ical deci­sion-making.

The system consists of two inter­con­nected layers:

  • A biocom­pat­ible sensing layer in direct contact with the wound which is dispos­able
  • A reusable elec­tronic module for signal acqui­si­tion, process­ing, and data trans­mis­sion

 

Key func­tion­al­i­ties include:

  • Imped­ance/ Resis­tance -based sensing to monitor tissue regen­er­a­tion
  • Inte­grated temper­a­ture sensing for early infec­tion detec­tion
  • Exudate moni­toring to measure biochem­ical/ pH profile/ opti­mize dressing replace­ment timing

 

The project focuses on building a complete value chain, including indus­tries from

  • OEMs
  • Mate­rials (Medical tapes, Foils, Conduc­tive inks)
  • Chips/​PCB manu­fac­tures
  • B2B part­ners

Expected Results 

  • Smart wound moni­toring system using flex­ible sensor systems
  • A strong and distinc­tive busi­ness case that enables unique posi­tioning smart bandage value chain
  • Devel­op­ment of a smart bandage reaching Tech­nology Readi­ness Level (TRL6)
