Novel hydrogel offers a smarter approach to wound healing
Deep wounds are vulnerable to bacterial infection and the accumulation of harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage cells and disrupt normal repair mechanisms.

Wearable health monitors have grown increasingly capable, but most are still limited by the fact that tracking different types of body signals requires separate sensors, each with its own circuitry and patch of skin. That leads to bulkier devices, higher power consumption and greater discomfort for anyone who needs round-the-clock monitoring.

Biosensors have revolutionized home health care over the past two decades. Devices like wearable heart rate and blood glucose monitors are giving people with chronic health conditions the information and assurance they need to maintain an active lifestyle. But even the best sensors are limited by their ability to sustain skin contact through the rigors of physical activity.

The PicoPretty device seamlessly integrates Picosecond, Long Pulse, and Genesis technologies to provide unparalleled versatility
