Table 1 Requirement specifications for the developed chronic wound monitoring system
From: A flexible and low power telemetric sensing and monitoring system for chronic wound diagnostics
Parameters | Type/ category | Specifications |
|---|---|---|
Sensors | Temperature | At least 01 sensor, 0.5°C resolution, miniature and flexible |
Moisture | At least 01 sensor, 5% RH resolution, miniature and flexible | |
Pressure | At least 01 sensor, 5 mmHg resolution, miniature and flexible | |
System size | NA | Small enough for placement within a compression bandage |
Power consumption | NA | Must be kept as low as possible for long-term operation |
Transmission | Protocol | Any suitable protocol e.g. Zigbee®, Bluetooth®, WiFi® |
Range | Suitable to receive data in a clinical setup | |
Power | Within the safe exposure limits for human body | |
