Challenge: Chronic wound healing is a complex and long-standing issue, which has been a major and critical clinical problem worldwide for many years. Recent advances in digital wound dressings have opened new possibilities to address this issue.

Approach: Prof. Yu Xinge and colleagues from City University of Hong Kong reported a battery-free, fully permeable, skin-adhesive, stretchable electronic wound bandage (iSAFE) for smart wound management.

Innovation 1: This electronic bandage exhibits multiple excellent properties and can effectively adhere to skin wounds. Additionally, iSAFE accurately assesses wound conditions, enabling adaptive localized drug release.

Innovation 2: In vitro and in vivo animal experiments demonstrated its effectiveness in wound monitoring, promoting healing, and enabling smart closed-loop wound management. Clinical trials involved patients aged 18–95 with various wound types.
