SubsidieMeestersA Paradigm Shift in Health Monitoring with Electrospun Enzymatic Neomaterials
WOUNDSENS aims to develop innovative wearable biosensors integrated into smart wound dressings to enhance chronic wound monitoring and improve patient quality of life.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Global healthcare associated with chronic non-healing wounds can be considered a main public health problem as it affects up to 2% of the world population. A novel approach is needed mainly to support the quality of life of the people suffering from this silent epidemic and additionally, alleviate the impact on costs and resources for the healthcare system.
Current State of Research
Up to date, no smart bandages have made it to the real market and research is still ongoing for a reliable and sensitive inspection method.
Project Goals
The main goal of the WOUNDSENS project is to lead the development of a novel generation of wearable biosensors with a synergy of technological breakthroughs in transversal fields of knowledge.
Key Innovations
- Sensor Integration: Sensor elements, for the first time, will directly become a compatible part of the wound dressing material itself, resulting in enhanced wearing comfort and operability.
- Manufacturing Compatibility: Accordingly, they will be integratable into manufacturers' existing standard processes (suturing, embroidery, roll-to-roll).
Technological Advancements
Our proposal presents a paradigm shift in smart wound dressings constructed on novel hollow fibers with radial bio-signaling based on engineered novel enzymes.
Cutting-Edge Technology
WOUNDSENS presents a leading-edge new technology with the design and development of innovative electrochemical materials with step forward advances in:
- Conductive Material: Development of electrospun neofibers.
- Electrospinning Methodologies: Processes with leading-edge methodologies on electrospinning.
- Enzyme Engineering: A new family of detection biocatalysts (resurrected and extant enzymes) to secure a sensitive and reliable signal.
Conclusion
The WOUNDSENS proposal accepts the challenge of pushing forward the new technological platform to design a new concept in continuous wound control and monitoring, improving the life of millions of people.
