Smart bandages can accelerate healing, avoiding infections of severe injuries or surgical wounds by real-time wound assessments. The wound’s healing state can be predicted by tracking parameters like temperature, pressure, pH, and acidity. A smart bandage prototype embedded with wireless temperature and pressure sensors based on a conductive polymer, PEDOT: PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate), and an NFC (Near-field communication) tag is proposed. This battery-less system provides a cost-effective alternative for medical applications.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) applications are often heavily dependent on artificial intelligence (AI) methods. Traditional cloud-based AI can find it hard to meet various UAV requirements, such as low latency and energy consumption. Edge AI, where AI is run on-device or at edge servers, is a viable solution. The researchers present an in-depth review of the convergence of edge AI and UAVs.
