Viewer's choice: New 'smart bandages' for burn victims and others

The video discusses the development of smart Band-Aids designed to aid in the healing of difficult wounds such as burns, diabetic ulcers, and bed sores. With support from the National Science Foundation, researchers at Harvard University are creating bandages that can sense wound conditions like pH, oxygen, and temperature, and respond accordingly. The bandages are equipped with wireless communication for continuous monitoring. The team is also working on flexible materials and systems to deliver oxygen and medication directly to the wound. The goal is to create a thin, flexible bandage packed with sensors and electronics for 24/7 wound care.
