Thematic area:
Novel Sensors
Product:
Ultrathin, battery-free smart dressings incorporating moisture sensors and an NFC chip. Enables real-time wound exudate monitoring at very low manufacturing cost (cents per unit).
Market:
Part of the $15B global wound care sector, including a fast-growing $1.8B smart dressings segment. Target customers are wound care manufacturers, hospitals, and homecare providers.
Fit:
Current smart dressings are bulky, expensive, and non-disposable. This project provides a clinically practical, low-cost alternative with strong IP and spinout potential already in motion.
