Smart bandage lets nurses peek at wounds from afar
NCT ID NCT07163195
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new 'smart bandage' that checks wound moisture, temperature, and acidity, then sends updates to a nurse's app. About 110 adults with hard-to-heal leg ulcers will either get the smart bandage plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is to see if the smart bandage helps wounds heal faster and improves quality of life.
