Summary

This study tests a new system that uses a special bandage with electrodes to monitor how well venous leg ulcers are healing. The system measures electrical signals through the wound and sends data to a phone app. Twenty adults with chronic leg ulcers will be monitored up to three times a week until the wound heals or for two months.
