AI bandage speeds up healing by 25%
US scientists have built a battery-powered smart bandage that uses a tiny camera, artificial intelligence and bioelectronics to monitor wounds and provide treatment, reducing healing time by about 25% compared with standard care.
Designed by engineers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, the wearable device, called a-Heal, aims to optimise each stage of the wound healing process.
