Smart Bandage Wound Monitoring Through a Connected Smart Bandage Mike Blouin – Hardware & Embedded Jenna Hatchard – Embedded & Android Jared Cuglietta – Android & Web ECE 492 Group 1 – Winter 2016

Motivation Why does the world need a Smart Bandage?

Motivation: Diabetics Warning: Graphic Image Problems with Diabetes: Neuropathy (decreased/lost sensation) Decreased blood flow in legs Worldwide epidemic Wounds may not be noticed quickly Very hard to heal Often leads to amputation 45% 5 year survival rate for diabetics with amputated legs 10 Year Open Wound on 70yr old

Motivation: Burn Wounds Warning: Graphic Image Excessive inflammation Uncontrolled bacterial growth Australia now sending patients with 40% burn body coverage home Difficulty in training parents/family for wound care Police Officer in Helicopter crash. 65% burn coverage Complete re-epithelialization in 29 days

$25-30 Why a Smart Bandage: In-home care by a Nurse costs $1000/day Remote monitoring of wounds by professionals/specialists Reach developing countries Reduce load on hospitals Reduce healing time Detect infection as it happens $25-30 Projected cost of Smart Bandage

Solution Design Goal: A small, embedded solution for wound monitoring with useful sensors and Android and Web applications targeted at Doctors and Nurses. TI CC2640 Bluetooth Microcontroller Integrated battery management, lasting >= 1 week Temperature, humidity, and surface moisture sensing Software recognition of “interesting” data points Android application for reading information from device and relaying data Web application for remote monitoring of patient information

Demonstration Wound monitoring through a connected Smart Bandage

Moisture Detection Goal: Detect surface moisture through resistivity Grid of conductive material spaced at 1cm intervals inside bandage Max current of 0.3mA < minimum threshold of sensation

Next Steps Wireless Inductive charging Allows for better seal on casing, less intrusive charging Antenna strength and interference Increased battery life (+30%) Intelligent web/Android alerts More intensive calibration of moisture detection circuitry
