Wireless Infection Monitor for Home and Hospital Use
A Wireless Way To Monitor Wound Infection
Tags: National University of Singapore, Singapore, Healthcare & Lifesciences
This innovation introduces a wireless wound infection monitoring system designed to detect infections at an early stage without removing wound dressings. By sensing specific parameters such as temperature and pH, it allows for continuous monitoring and alerts healthcare providers to potential infections before severe symptoms appear. This technology can help reduce hospitalization duration, prevent readmissions, and decrease healthcare costs associated with wound infections. Unlike traditional bulky monitoring devices, this system is designed to be compact and non-invasive, facilitating convenient use in clinical or home settings. Its application has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and streamline post-surgical care.
