WoundWatch^® (Prototype, non CE-marked)

The WoundWatch^® system is intended for monitoring venous ulcers. The WoundWatch^® system provides measurement data for monitoring the status of venous ulcers, thereby assisting in evaluating the progress of healing.

The WoundWatch^® system consists of an eDressing, a measurement unit (MSU), a mobile application, a charging cradle for the MSU and a power supply. The WoundWatch^® system will be a Class IIb medical device after completion of the CE certification process.

 

WoundWatch^® eDressing

WoundWatch^® eDressing is a film-like well-perforated sterile wound dressing with multiple electrodes for monitoring the wound status. The eDressing is placed on the wound, beneath the absorbing dressing layers (such as a foam dressing) and a compression bandage.

 

WoundWatch^® measurement unit (MSU)

WoundWatch^® MSU is a compact wound measurement device. The MSU is connected to the eDressing when measuring the wound status. The MSU conducts the bioimpedance scan of the wound area with the help of the electrodes of the eDressing. The MSU transfers the measurement data wirelessly via Bluetooth connection into the WoundWatch^® mobile application on a user’s mobile device for further analysis and visualization. Duration of the measurement is circa 30 seconds.

 

WoundWatch^® mobile application

WoundWatch^® mobile application is installed into a user’s mobile device. The mobile application analyzes the measurement data and visualizes the measurement outcome.
