Nanotechnological advancement in artificial intelligence for wound care

This chapter describes the polymeric materials used for smart wound dressings. The nanotechnology-based artificially intelligent wound care approach provides superior client-centric devices comprising electronically aided healing as compared to traditional wound care dressings. The chapter explains different types of nanomaterials based on real-time in situ biosensors required for single stimuli-responsive monitoring of wound conditions which involves sensing visual, odor, motion, pH, moisture, temperature, pressure, oxygenation, uric acid, and blood glucose. Further, the chapter elaborates on intelligent stimuli-responsive drug release systems for skin-inspired electronics. The multi-stimuli-responsive integrated sensors have been discussed which integrate electronics-assisted in situ monitoring along with intelligent therapeutic drug delivery. At last, a detailed discussion on fabricating techniques for the formation of both single stimuli and multi-stimuli-responsive intelligent dressings is carried out.
