Development of a wearable patch for continuous monitoring of recovery from microsurgical tissue transfer using deep-tissue oxygenation sensing technology.
Description
This project proposes a soft wearable intelligent patch (SWIP) with microneedle waveguides for deep-tissue oxygenation sensing without implantation, enabling continuous monitoring of recovery after microsurgical tissue transfer. The device will measure local and global physiological parameters, providing real-time data to improve surgical outcomes.
