WoundR

Inspiration

Accelerating wound healing with low-cost LEDs/blue-light wearable patche (pflaster).

What it does

WoundeR LED patch is post-surgery or any skin accident wearable wound management solution, covering wounds and delivering 5-10 minute therapy daily for 7-10 days.

How we built it

We used Infineon's XMC 1100 Cortex M0 and DAVE C/C++ environment to drive Osram's LEDs, 10 minutes daily with 24 hour pause, and so for next 7-10 days. 3.3 V battery is integrated in and capacity is just enough for 7-10 days. Shells containing electronics were 3D printed on Ultimaker 2 (MakerSpace/TUM).

Challenges we ran into

Form factors. Further need for miniaturization in LEDs and whole solution.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It works.

What we learned

We would like to thank Infineon for short tutorials in prototyping with DAVE / XMC 1100, as well as OSRAM on opinions/exploration in LED miniaturization.

What's next for WoundR

We would need to think on possibilities regarding miniaturization of these into pflaster. Also whether such patches are consumable for itself, or to introduce consumable adhesives that come on wounds for small electronic part to be re-usable instead.
