Embodiment Construction

[0026] Embodiments disclosed herein relate to devices and methods for monitoring or treating at least one of biological tissues with a substrate implementing a sensor. The systems and methods disclosed herein are not limited to treating or monitoring a particular type of tissue or wound, and indeed, the sensor-implementing techniques disclosed herein are broadly applicable to any type of treatment that may benefit from a sensor-implementing substrate. Some implementations leverage the sensors and data collection that healthcare providers rely on to make diagnostic and patient management decisions.

[0027] Some of the systems and methods disclosed herein involve the use of sensors mounted on or embedded within substrates configured for processing intact and damaged human or animal tissue. Such sensors can gather information about surrounding tissue and transmit such information to a computing device or caregiver for use in further treatment. In some cases, such sensors could ...

Abstract

A wound monitoring and/or therapy apparatus can include multiple sensor circuits, a selection circuit coupled to each sensor circuit, and a processor configured to be in communication with the selection circuit. Each sensor circuit can process multiple sensor signals to generate a single output signal from the multiple sensor signals. Each of the sensor signals can correspond to a measurement of a sensor positioned on a substrate that is configured to be positioned at least partially in a wound. The selection circuit can receive the single output signals from the sensor circuits and outputs a selected single output signal. The processor can receive the selected single output signal and decomposes the selected signal output signal into the multiple sensor signals used to generate the selected single output signal. The processor can activate sensors and receive sensor data from the sensors. The processor can digitize the sensor data and transmit the digitized sensor data to a remote controller.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims UK patent application number entitled SENSOR SHEET WITH DIGITALDISTRIBUTED DATA ACQUISITION FOR WOUND MONITORING AND TREATMENT, filed 11 July 2019 1909947.2, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sensor-integrated substrates that may be incorporated into wound dressings and systems, and in particular to design rules for such substrates. Background technique [0004] Almost all fields of medicine could benefit from improved information about the state of a tissue, organ or system being treated, especially if such information is collected in real-time during treatment. Many types of therapy are still routinely performed without the use of sensor data collection; instead, such therapy relies on visual inspection by a caregiver or other limited means rather than quantitative sensor data....
