RMIT大学の研究チームは、創傷の状態をリアルタイムで監視できる小型の再利用型ウェアラブルセンサーを開発。pH、温度、炎症などを検知し、Bluetooth経由でデータを医療者に送信できる。これによりドレッシングの頻繁な交換を減らし、感染の早期発見や過干渉の回避が可能に。柔軟で肌に密着し、大量生産時は1台5ドル未満を想定。介護や睡眠モニタなど他の医療機器への応用も視野に入れている。

Abstract

Wearable wound health monitors can radically revolutionize the methods of contemporary wound care monitoring, thereby greatly reducing the burden on the healthcare system. By integrating sensors that can monitor parameters of the wound bed and interfacing them with wireless capabilities, continuous and remote monitoring can be achieved. The focus of this work is to demonstrate a system-on-chip, multiplexed wound healing monitor on a flexible wireless platform. A triangulated approach of measuring CRP, IL-6 proteins, pH, and temperature is used to wirelessly track changes in parameters that indicate the progress or lack thereof of wound healing. Further, to mimic functionality on skin conditions, the dependency of biomarkers and pH responses with temperature has been investigated. These systems can find imminent applications in clinical point-of-care diagnostics.
