Abstract
Skin wound healing is influenced by two kinds of environment i.e., exterior environment that is nearby to wound surface and interior environment that is the environment of the adjacent part under wound surface. Both types of environment play a vital role in wound healing, which may contribute to continuous or impaired wound healing. Although, different previous studies provided wound care solutions, but they focused on single environmental factors either wound moisture level, pH value or healing enzymes. Practically, it is insignificant to consider environmental effect by determination of single factors or two, as both types of environment contain a lot of other factors which must be part of investigation e.g., smoke, air pollution, air humidity, temperature, hydrogen gases etc. Also, previous studies didn’t classify overall healing either as continuous or impaired based on exterior environment effect. In current research work, we proposed an effective wound care solution based on exterior environment monitoring system integrated with Neural Network Model to consider exterior environment effect on wound healing process, either as continuous or impaired. Current research facilitates patients by providing them intelligent wound care solution to monitor and control wound healing at their home.
Highlights
The major function of skin is to act as protective barrier between body and environment
We proposed a smart wound care approach based on Exterior environment monitoring System designed by using Arduino UNO microcontroller (Arduino, Somerville, TX, USA)
In current research work we proposed an android based wound care solution to detect environmental feasibility level for wound healing, as wound healing effected by many factors, environment is one such factor which play active role in healing
Summary
The major function of skin is to act as protective barrier between body and environment. Skin injury causes loss of slight or larger skin part, which may cause serious disability and even death. The primary concern of wound treatment is rapid wound repair and prevention from chronic wound (ulcer) [1]. Wound healing is a typical biological process, which consists of three major tasks i.e., inflammatory response, new tissue formation, and, tissue remodeling. Wound healing is influenced by wound microenvironment. Skin–wound microenvironment could majorly classify as interior and exterior
