Chronic wounds represent one of the most persistent challenges in modern healthcare, often leading to prolonged suffering and substantial economic burden. Today, the management of these wounds still largely relies on intermittent clinical assessments and subjective classification systems, which can delay detection of infection or impaired healing. A new study, born out of a powerful... Continue Reading →
Preventative Sensor-Based Remote Monitoring of the Diabetic Foot in Clinical Practice #DiabeticFoot #ActAgainstAmputation #Inflammation #RemotePatientMonitoring #C2SHiP
Here is work from our interdisciplinary team led by Evan Minty and Breanne Everett. The goal is to help us move toward creating a closed loop of dosing activity, sensing inflammation, and treating pre-ulcerative conditions. Abstract Diabetes and its complications, particularly diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), pose significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. DFUs result in... Continue Reading →

Summary: A recent study from Caltech and USC reports that smart bandages equipped with biosensors could significantly improve the healing process of chronic wounds. These high-tech bandages monitor wounds in real-time... Continue Reading →
Study: Fully automated closed loop artificial pancreas
The study from colleagues in Cambridge published in the journal Nature Medicine found that a fully closed-loop insulin delivery system (CamAPS HX) improved glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes, compared to standard insulin therapy and a masked glucose sensor (control). The proportion of time in the target glucose range was 66.3% with closed-loop... Continue Reading →
