“Wounds form a living environment that changes state quickly and frequently as cells and tissues communicate with each other to promote healing,” explains program director Dr. Paul Sheehan. “An ideal treatment would detect these changes in the wound condition, process them and then intervene to steer and accelerate the healing process. For example, we expect a bioelectronic intervention that modulates the body's immune process, activates the corresponding cells in the wound area or controls the development and specialization of stem cells in order to promote healing." The new technology will also enable the administration of medications - such as antibiotics be continually adjusted to avoid overdosing and underdosing and to reduce side effects.Simply sign up for a monthly subscription to immediately benefit from all ESUT Digital advantages.For a monthly subscription
