Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Wound healing research has historically seen slow translation from concept to clinical application.
  • Traditional approaches often overlook individual patient physiological differences.
  • Conservative adoption rates in clinical practice hinder wound care advancements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore a novel approach for advancing wound healing research and clinical practice.
  • To investigate the potential of patient stratification based on physiological status.
  • To identify methods for quantifying changes within the wound environment (milieu).

Main Methods:

  • Review of current wound healing literature.
  • Conceptual framework for patient stratification in wound care.
  • Discussion of potential biomarkers and measurement techniques for wound milieu.

Main Results:

  • Identified slow progress in wound healing adoption.
  • Proposed patient stratification by physiological status as a key strategy.
  • Highlighted the need for quantifiable wound milieu assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Stratifying patients based on physiological status offers a promising avenue for wound healing research.
  • Quantifying changes in the wound milieu is crucial for driving progress.
  • This approach could accelerate the clinical adoption of new wound healing technologies.
