The study, being conducted at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, will see ten patients with diabetes-related foot ulcers have dressings applied and monitored on a fortnightly basis for a total of eight weeks per patient. During appointments, the wounds will be assessed, and smart dressing applied for up to one hour under observation while measurements are taken.
Researchers at the University of Nottingham have received a £902,524 grant from the Medical Research Council to develop a smart wound dressing embedded with optical fibre sensors to assess whether affected tissue is healing or infected.
