4、objective data than visual inspection alone.Monitored parameters include:pH levels:A healthy wound site is slightly acidic.A shift toward a more alkaline pH can signal inflammation or infection.Temperature:Elevated temperatures around a wound can indicate inflammation or infection.Moisture levels:Ma

5、intaining the proper moisture balance is essential for healing.Sensors can track the level of wound exudate to prevent the wound from becoming too dry or wet.Oxygen levels:Poor oxygen supply can inhibit healing.Sensors can monitor tissue oxygenation in real-time.Biomarkers:Biosensors can detect spec
