Smart Bandage

Team Members: Michael Bloin, Jenna Hatchard, Jared Cuglietta

The Smart Bandage is a small, embedded solution for wound monitoring with medically useful sensors and Android and Web applications targeted at Doctors and Nurses. Temperature, humidity, and surface moisture sensors embedded within the bandage provide data crucial to medical professionals. This data allows Doctors and Nurses to ensure that the wound is in a state conducive to healing, and informs them when the dressing needs changing. With a Bill of Materials of $25 the bandage could provide significant cost savings over the $1000/day cost of homecare by a nurse.
