Abstract

, pH, enzymes, temperature, reactive oxygen species (ROS)) is summarized. Particular emphasis is placed on integrated platforms that combine sensing and treatment capabilities. The review also discusses the integration of hydrogels with wearable electronics and closed-loop feedback mechanisms in advanced hybrid systems. Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives regarding the development of multimodal, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted precision wound management technologies are outlined.
