Abstract
The management of wounds is a critical aspect of healthcare as it affects patients' quality of life and puts a financial burden on the healthcare industry. The development of smart bandages has shown great potential in wound monitoring and targeted treatment. This review paper gives information on the latest updates in smart bandage technology that can monitor various biomarkers such as temperature, moisture, oxygen, blood flow, external pressure, pH, and infection status in real time. Additionally, this review discusses targeted treatment by integrating drug delivery systems that can release drugs on-demand based on the wound condition. Furthermore, this paper gives a summary of information on the current improvements in smart bandages, including their design, fabrication, and clinical applications. This paper also discussed the current challenges and future opportunities with smart bandages and their potential to transform the field of wound care. With the ability to noninvasively diagnose wound parameters, reduce pain, and accelerate wound healing, smart bandages are expected to play a significant role in future wound care.
