How Smart Bandages Are Transforming Medicine and Healthcare #WearableWednesday
Chronic wounds are a major health issue affecting tens of millions of people worldwide. While some bandages today are embedded with medicine to treat wounds, scientists have something much more advanced in mind for the future of chronic wound care – smart bandages.
