Advancing Wound Care Through pH and Temperature Monitoring

See how continuous pH + temperature sensing can shift wound management from reactive to proactive care, supporting earlier intervention and fewer manual checks.

The Challenge: Wound care needs better signals

As digital health continues to expand medical monitoring, wound care is emerging as a key area where continuous data can improve outcomes. Many wound types still rely heavily on visual inspection, making early infection detection and healing assessment difficult and inconsistent. Without objective biochemical insight, clinicians are often forced to react to symptoms rather than intervene early. This creates variability in care, increases clinical workload, and can delay treatment decisions.

Common challenges include:

  • Limited objective data, with reliance on visual inspection and manual measurement
  • Infection risk and healing uncertainty without biochemical indicators
  • Patient compliance and access issues tied to frequent clinic visits
  • Data integration gaps when connectivity and software infrastructure are missing

The Solution: pH and Temperature Sensing Smart Bandage (Proof of Concept)

This Application Spotlight explores a smart bandage proof-of-concept that combines Millar’s pH sensing technology with Gentian Health’s connected wearable patch platform. Together, the system demonstrates how continuous pH and temperature monitoring paired with digital connectivity can support more proactive wound management.

The platform is designed to reduce manual intervention, enable earlier detection of complications, and provide a foundation for future clinical and OEM development.

What this enables:

  • Continuous pH and temperature monitoring to support earlier clinical insight
  • Objective data to complement visual assessment
  • A scalable foundation for wearable and implantable wound care devices
