Smart Bandage With Telemonitoring vs Standard Care for Venous Leg Ulcer: Randomized Trial

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Venous Leg Ulcer (VLU), Chronic Wound

In brief

Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are chronic wounds that are often slow to heal and can greatly affect patients' daily lives. This study will evaluate a new "smart bandage" that can monitor wound conditions such as pH, temperature, and moisture, and transmit this information to a mobile app for nurses to review. Care can then be adjusted in real time. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare smart bandage plus standard wound care with standard wound care alone. We will assess whether the smart bandage improves healing rates within 12 weeks, shortens time to healing, reduces infection, and improves quality of life in patients with VLUs. About 110 adult participants with VLUs will be enrolled at Clinic Podiatry Care, Purwokerto, Indonesia.
