Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to the field of medical science, and more particularly, the present invention relates to the smart bandage with integrated biosensors and drug delivery system.
BACKGROUND FOR THE INVENTION:
[001] The following discussion of the background to the invention is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention. However, it should be appreciated that the discussion is not an acknowledgment or admission that any of the material referred to was published, known, or part of the common general knowledge in any jurisdiction as of the priority date of the application. The details provided herein the background if belongs to any publication is taken only as a reference for describing the problems, in general terminologies or principles or both of science and technology in the associated prior art.
[002] Wound care has faced many ongoing problems that affect patient health and healthcare expenses:
- Delayed Infection Detection: Regular wound dressings depend on looking for visible signs of infection. This often causes delays in noticing the problem because signs usually show up only after the infection has worsened. Our smart bandage helps by constantly checking for signs of illness, so problems can be caught and treated sooner.
- Inefficient Drug Delivery: Conventional wound treatments often involve systemic administration of medicines or the application of topical ointments. These ways can be ineffective, resulting in either low drug levels at the wound or unneeded exposure to the rest of the body. Our drug delivery method sends medications straight to the areas that need them, in the right amounts.
- Limited Monitoring Capabilities: Right now, wound checking usually means regular check-ups and changing the dressings. This way of checking can overlook important changes in the wound’s condition between visits. Our monitoring method gives a complete and ongoing view of how wounds heal.
- High Healthcare Costs: Chronic wounds and related problems greatly increase healthcare expenses. Having to change bandages often, go to the hospital frequently, and undergo long treatments makes this situation harder to deal with. Our smart bandage can lower costs by improving care and minimizing complications.
- Frequent Dressing Changes: Traditional bandages often need to be changed often, which can slow down healing and raise the chance of infection. Our smart bandage is made to be worn for a long time, so you don't have to change it often. This helps keep the wound comfortable and reduces interruptions to healing.
- Risk of Complications: Slow healing and unnoticed infections can cause major problems like blood infections (sepsis) or the need to amputate limbs, especially in people with diabetes who are at higher risk. Our smart patch can find problems early and help right away, which lowers these risks.
[003] In light of the foregoing, there is a need for a smart bandage with integrated biosensors and drug delivery system that overcomes problems prevalent in the prior art.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
[004] Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment herein satisfies, are as follows.
[005] The principal object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by providing the Smart bandage with integrated biosensors and drug delivery system.
[006] Another object of the present invention is to provide the smart bandage with integrated biosensors and a drug delivery system that enables continuous monitoring and early detection of wound conditions without requiring removal of the dressing. Unlike conventional bandages that necessitate physical inspection, the embedded biosensors can detect early signs of infection, inflammation, or delayed healing at a molecular level, allowing for timely intervention.
[007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a smart bandage with an AI-driven adaptive treatment system capable of dynamically modifying the treatment regimen based on real-time wound conditions. This personalized approach ensures optimal healing compared to static treatment plans that do not adapt to the wound’s progression.
[008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a targeted drug delivery mechanism within the smart bandage, ensuring precise administration of multiple therapeutic agents directly to the wound site. This localized approach enhances treatment efficacy while reducing the systemic side effects associated with oral medications such as antibiotics and pain relievers.
[009] Another object of the present invention is to minimize the frequency of dressing changes by integrating real-time monitoring and automated treatment delivery within the smart bandage. This reduces patient discomfort, decreases the risk of contamination during dressing replacement, and promotes a sterile healing environment.
[010] Another object of the present invention is to facilitate remote monitoring of wound healing progress, allowing healthcare providers to assess patient conditions without requiring frequent in-person visits. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals residing in remote areas or those with mobility constraints, ensuring continuous medical supervision without logistical challenges.
[011] Another object of the present invention is to leverage continuous data collection and AI-driven analytics to generate valuable insights into wound healing patterns. This data-centric approach enhances treatment strategies and contributes to ongoing advancements in the field of wound care.
[012] Another object of the present invention is to promote better patient engagement by incorporating a mobile application that provides real-time feedback, progress tracking, and treatment reminders. This interactive system encourages patient adherence to prescribed wound care protocols, leading to improved recovery outcomes.
[013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a cost-effective long-term wound care solution. While the initial cost of the smart bandage may be higher than conventional dressings, its ability to prevent complications, reduce hospitalization rates, and decrease overall treatment durations results in significant cost savings over time.
[014] Other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following description, which is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
[001] The present invention provides a smart bandage with integrated biosensors and drug delivery system.
[002] The Smart Bandage with Integrated Biosensors and Drug Delivery System marks a paradigm shift in wound care management. This new medical gadget combines the latest nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and advanced materials to provide a complete solution for wound healing. The smart patch has several layers, and each one has an important job. The outermost layer is a breathable, waterproof membrane that guards the wound from external contaminants while allowing for ideal gas exchange. Underneath this are tiny biosensors, each smaller than a grain of sand that can keep track of different wound conditions all the time. These biosensors send live data to a smart microprocessor built into the patch. This microprocessor looks at incoming data and checks it against large databases of wound healing trends to help decide on treatment plans. The smart bandage's drug delivery system has been turned on, according to the AI's research. This system has several small storage areas that hold different types of medicine, like medicines, growth factors, and pain relief drugs. A precise release system makes sure the right medicine is given in the right amount straight to the wound.
[003] Real-time Monitoring: The smart bandage uses a suite of advanced biosensors to continuously monitor critical wound parameters:
- pH Levels: Changes in wound pH can show if there are bacteria present or how well the wound is healing. Our monitors can notice pH changes as small as 0.1 units, which helps to alert us early about possible infections.
- Temperature: A higher wound temperature often happens before any obvious signs of infection appear. Our temperature monitors can spot changes as small as 0.1°C, which helps us act quickly.
- Wetness Levels: For the best wound healing, it's important to keep the right amount of wetness. Our moisture sensors keep the wound at the right level of wetness, avoiding both drying out and becoming too wet.
- Bacterial Detection: Our devices can identify common bacteria in wounds, like Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, using specific markers before they become a serious problem.
- Oxygen Levels: Having enough air is important for healing wounds. Our oxygen devices check the oxygen levels in the area, which helps find places with low blood flow.
- Inflammatory Markers: By detecting elevated amounts of inflammatory cytokines, our sensors can track the progression of the inflammatory phase of wound healing.
[004] Smart Drug Delivery: The drug delivery device is made for accuracy and adaptability.
- Controlled Release System: The system uses small channels and electronic valves to release medicine very precisely, as small as a microliter.
[005] Multiple Drug Reservoirs: The bandage has 2-4 separate compartments, each able to hold different medicines. This enables the use of multiple treatments and the timing of drug release as the wound heals in stages.
- Adjustable Medication Timing: The AI system can change how medication is given depending on the wound's condition, the time of day, or certain identified factors.
- Targeted Delivery: Drugs can be sent directly to certain parts of a wound using a network of small tubes. This makes the use of medicine more effective and reduces side effects.
[006] Connection: The smart bandage uses complex connection options:
- Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Enabled: Lets you send info in real-time to nearby devices or straight to cloud servers.
- Mobile App Integration: A simple app helps patients and caregivers easily see wound state, treatment progress, and get alerts.
- Cloud Data Storage: Safe and HIPAA-compliant cloud storage allows for long-term data processing and works well with electronic health records.
- Real-time Alerts: The system can quickly notify healthcare workers if important measurements go beyond safe levels.
- Healthcare Provider Dashboard: A user-friendly online tool that helps healthcare workers track several patients, change treatment plans, and see patterns in healing.
- Data Processing and Decision Making: The Smart Bandage uses an advanced method for processing data and making decisions. The flowchart shows how data is gathered, examined, and used to decide on treatments.
