Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an intelligent wound care system. Background Art
[0002] In the field of wound care, traditional care methods and existing technologies have many limitations, which seriously affect wound healing and patient recovery experience: 1. Traditional dressings rely on experience and judgment, and the misdiagnosis rate is high: Traditional dressing changes mainly rely on medical staff to observe the color, smell and other subjective indicators of exudate with the naked eye to judge the infection situation. According to the 2023 literature data of "Trauma Nursing", the misdiagnosis rate of this method is as high as 35%, which can easily lead to delayed treatment of infection or unnecessary excessive intervention, increasing patient pain and medical costs.
[0003] 2. Commercial sensor dressings have single functions: Existing commercial sensor dressings, such as Smith & Nephew pH-sensitive dressings, can only monitor a single parameter (such as pH value) and cannot identify early infection biomarkers (such as bacterial metabolites and specific inflammatory factors). It is difficult to provide timely warnings in the early stages of infection, and the best time for treatment is missed.
[0004] 3. Passive drug release systems lack dynamic adjustment capabilities: Common passive drug release systems such as hydrogels have a fixed drug release rate and cannot dynamically adjust the dosage and type of drug according to the real-time status of the wound (such as the degree of infection and the healing stage), resulting in drug waste or poor treatment effect.
[0005] 4. Existing intelligent technologies have obvious technical bottlenecks: Monitoring disconnect: Although Chinese patent CN113876480A achieves joint monitoring of pH and temperature, it misses key indicators such as bacterial metabolites and cannot fully assess the wound microenvironment.
[0006] Rough drug delivery: U.S. Patent US20210000698A1 uses a mechanical pump for drug release, which has a dosage error of more than ±20%, making it difficult to meet the needs of precise treatment.
[0007] Structural rigidity: The smart Band-Aid developed by Zhejiang University suffers from excessive circuit rigidity, which can lead to circuit breakage when applied to wounds. The clinical failure rate is as high as 42%, seriously affecting system stability and reliability.
[0008] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide an intelligent wound care system to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the Invention

The exudate component sensor also includes a lactate oxidase-modified electrode to specifically detect the concentration of Staphylococcus aureus metabolites with a detection sensitivity of ≥0.5 μg / mL.
[0011] Preferably, the skin-friendly layer is in direct contact with the wound and is made of ultra-soft medical-grade spunlace non-woven fabric. The surface is treated with a nano-level hydrophilic coating, which has excellent liquid absorbency and breathability. It can quickly absorb wound exudate while keeping the wound surface dry, creating a good microenvironment for wound healing. The thickness of the skin-friendly layer is 0.1-0.3mm, ensuring soft fit and reducing friction and irritation to the wound. The protective layer is made of a transparent medical-grade polyurethane film with a thickness of 0.05-0.1mm. It has good waterproofness and flexibility, can effectively prevent the invasion of external pollutants, and does not affect the fit between the dressing body and the skin. Breathable micropores are set on the protective layer with a pore size of 0.1-1μm to ensure smooth gas exchange in the wound area.
[0012] Preferably, the sensors are distributed in a matrix manner in the middle area of the functional layer, and the pH sensor and the temperature sensor are evenly arranged at intervals of 3-5 mm to form a basic monitoring array; the exudate component sensor is arranged at an edge position close to the convergence direction of the wound exudate, and the exudate component sensor is connected to the skin-friendly layer through a micro-guide groove to ensure that the exudate can flow into the sensor detection area in time; all sensors use flip-chip packaging technology, and electrical connection is achieved through the pads of the flexible circuit layer. The sensor package thickness does not exceed 0.2 mm to ensure that the overall structure is light and thin.
[0013] Preferably, the control module is located in the upper right corner of the functional layer, and adopts miniaturized system-level packaging technology to integrate the microcontroller, memory, power management chip, etc. into a package with a size of 5mm×5mm×1mm; The preset infection risk threshold of the control module is: When pH>7.4, temperature>38°C, and bacterial metabolite concentration>5μg / mL, the antibiotic release command is triggered; When the interleukin concentration is >100 pg / mL, the anti-inflammatory drug release instruction is triggered; When the glucose concentration is <3 mmol / L and the protein concentration decreases, the growth factor release command is triggered.
[0014] Preferably, the three independent drug storage chambers are respectively loaded with antibiotics, growth factors and anti-inflammatory drugs; The microvalve array responds to the control module's instruction to open the corresponding drug storage chamber; The microvalve array is made of thermosensitive hydrogel, which undergoes phase change and expansion after receiving instructions, opening the release channel of the drug storage cavity, with a release accuracy error of ≤±5%; The drug storage cavity is provided with a nanofiber membrane for slowing down the drug diffusion rate and achieving sustained release for 12-24 hours.
[0015] Preferably, the multiple drug storage cavities are distributed in an annular shape at the edge of the functional layer, 1-2 cm away from the edge of the dressing body, each drug storage cavity has a capacity of 0.1-0.5 ml, and is connected to the corresponding drug release unit through a micro-channel; The drug release unit is manufactured using micro-electromechanical system technology, installed below the drug storage cavity, and receives instructions from the control module through the flexible circuit layer to achieve precise drug release.

The flexible circuit layer includes an embedded Bluetooth module and a micro energy unit; The embedded Bluetooth module transmits monitoring data to an external terminal in real time; The micro energy unit provides power to the system.
[0017] Preferably, the alarm module includes a vibration motor and an LED light source. When the infection risk value exceeds a preset safety range, a tactile alarm is issued through the vibration motor; and a visual alarm is issued through the LED light source.
[0018] Preferably, the control module executes a multi-sensor data fusion algorithm, including: Compensate for pH sensor drift based on temperature data; The concentration values of exudate components were corrected by impedance spectroscopy analysis; Output wound healing trend score (0-100 points).
[0019] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention: 1. To address the defect of traditional dressings that rely on visual observation, resulting in a high misdiagnosis rate of 35%, this system reduces the misdiagnosis rate of infection through multi-sensor fusion monitoring (pH sensor + temperature sensor + exudate composition sensor) and a preset infection risk threshold algorithm (such as the triple trigger mechanism of pH>7.4 + temperature>38℃ + bacterial metabolites>5μg / mL).
[0020] 2. To address the functional defect of commercial sensor dressings that can only monitor a single parameter, this design integrates a microfluidic chip and a biological probe into the exudate composition sensor to simultaneously detect four types of indicators: protein, glucose, interleukin, and bacterial metabolites. Combined with the directional drainage technology of the diversion groove, the infection detection rate is improved.
[0021] 3. To address the pain point that passive drug release systems cannot adjust drugs on demand, this system uses thermosensitive hydrogel microvalve arrays and nanofiber membrane sustained-release technology. Based on the intelligent decision-making instructions of the control module (such as interleukin >100pg / mL triggering the release of anti-inflammatory drugs), it dynamically adjusts the dosage and type of drug according to the real-time status of the wound (such as the degree of infection and the healing stage), thereby reducing drug waste or poor treatment effects.
[0022] 4. To address the defect of existing technologies in missing key biochemical indicators, a multi-sensor data fusion algorithm is used to improve detection accuracy and output a healing trend score of 0-100 points; To address the shortcoming of the ±20% high error in drug release from mechanical pumps, a microvalve array and an annularly distributed independent drug storage chamber layout are used to reduce the release error. To address the 42% clinical fracture rate of rigid circuits, an ultra-thin flexible architecture, serpentine routing circuits, and flip-chip packaging are used to avoid circuit fractures and reduce clinical failure rates.
