An ulcer is an open wound that remains unhealed, even after weeks of treatment. These types of wounds require a long process of treatment due to other underlying health problems.
Having an unhealing, painful and often infected wound decreases patients’ life quality significantly. During a treatment, which could last for months, patients experience a lot of emotional and physical challenges.
Deva is a design concept proposing the use of smart sensors in wound care treatment in a way that it will improve the communication between patients and nurses, by providing information and guidance.
The ecosystem consists of a smart wound patch that will turn any wound dressing today into a “smart” one, an electrostimulation therapy sock, and digital platforms where the information will be available.
