Summary
Biosensors and smart dressings offer objective chronic wound monitoring, but clinical adoption faces barriers. Future research should focus on large trials and AI integration for better implementation.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Implementation Science
- Wound Care Technology
Background:
- Chronic wound assessment is subjective and time-consuming.
- Biosensors and smart dressings offer objective, continuous monitoring for improved wound management.
- Clinical translation of these advanced technologies remains limited.
Conclusions:
- Current evidence is limited by small sample sizes and technological heterogeneity.
- Implementation barriers hinder widespread adoption of biosensor and smart dressing technologies.
- Future research needs pragmatic trials, cost-effectiveness analysis, and AI integration for clinical translation.
