Smart Bandage With App-Based Telemonitoring Versus Standard Wound Care for Venous Leg Ulcer: A Randomized Controlled Trial

A smart wound bandage with integrated sensors (pH, temperature, moisture) connected to a mobile telemonitoring platform. Wound data are transmitted securely to a mobile application monitored by wound care nurses. The device is applied in addition to standard wound care (compression therapy, conventional dressing, debridement when indicated, and patient education).

A conventional wound bandage without digital monitoring features. It is applied in addition to standard wound care (compression therapy, conventional dressing, debridement when indicated, and patient education). This represents usual care according to international guidelines.
