Abstract

The healthcare system is moving away from traditional hospital-centric models towards a more personalised, patient-centric approach driven by the concept called ‘lab on wearables’. The nucleus of this concept is grounded on the translation of biological signals into actionable healing information with the help of soft, conformable and biocompatible sensors. This soft flexible electronic platform development is more leaning towards unconventional electronics fabrication routes like printed electronics over clean room based micro-electronics manufacturing. Printed electronics can harness the potential of stretchable foils, bio-derived functional materials and organic electronics, enabling the development of biodegradable and bioresorbable wound monitoring systems that are conformable with the skin. The review explores the potential of sustainable and biocompatible printed electronics in transducing wound biomarkers into actionable healing insights, enabling timely interventions. This work also provides a roadmap for printed electronics-based wound monitoring and on-demand treatment solutions, offering a glimpse into the future promises of the technology.

融合生物相容性印刷电子和传感在伤口敷料：在可持续健康监测的飞跃

医疗保健系统正在从传统的以医院为中心的模式转向更加个性化、以患者为中心的模式，这种模式受到“可穿戴设备实验室”概念的推动。这一概念的核心是将生物信号转化为可操作的治疗信息，借助柔软、舒适和生物兼容的传感器。这种软柔性电子平台的开发更倾向于非传统的电子制造路线，如印刷电子，而不是基于洁净室的微电子制造。印刷电子产品可以利用可拉伸箔、生物衍生功能材料和有机电子产品的潜力，从而开发出符合皮肤的可生物降解和生物可吸收的伤口监测系统。该综述探讨了可持续和生物相容性印刷电子技术在将伤口生物标志物转化为可操作的愈合见解，从而实现及时干预方面的潜力。这项工作还为基于印刷电子的伤口监测和按需治疗解决方案提供了路线图，为该技术的未来前景提供了一瞥。
