Grapheal WoundLAB - Electronic Wound Patch

SHARE

Grapheal specializes in creating advanced biosensors, and their WoundLAB product epitomizes innovation in wound care technology. WoundLAB is an electronic wound patch designed for continuous monitoring of wound healing parameters. It diligently tracks data such as the pH level of exudate and other key indicators, essential for evaluating healing progress and detecting early-stage infections. This sensor communicates data to a medical cloud through a smartphone app, enabling healthcare providers to monitor the wound remotely. The data-driven approach allows for timely intervention and prevention of complications, especially in chronic wounds common among diabetic patients. WoundLAB transforms ordinary bandages into smart, connected devices, reducing the need for frequent in-person evaluations and thus lowering medical costs. This aligns with the rising demand for efficient, remote wound care solutions, providing a vital tool in the management of chronic wounds, often faced by a growing aging population.

More than 6.5 million persons are suffering from chronic wounds in the United States. The cost and incidence of chronic wounds is increasing, due to the aging population, and the increased prevalence of diabetes.

New treatments for chronic wounds have led to improvements in wound management but wound monitoring tools and methodologies have not kept pace with this progress. Wound assessment is complex and requires a range of clinical skills and knowledge.

That is why wound care at home is expensive and often innefficient given that care providers simply do not have the necessary tools to accurately track wound healing over time.
