Abstract
A bandage including a self-contained microcontroller that can sense, record, process and/or report information concerning the use of the bandage. The bandage includes a microcontroller contained within the padded portion of the bandage. A sensor is connected to the microcontroller and generates a signal based on whether the bandage is attached to a patient. The signal generated by the sensor is received by the microcontroller and analyzed and/or recorded by the microcontroller. The microcontroller operates to analyze the information from the sensor, thereby generating and reporting clinically useful information as to the status of the bandage. The bandage of the invention includes a data transfer port such that the bandage can be attached to an external computer and information transferred to or from the bandage.
