Abstract
Plastic optical fibres were functionalized to be sensitive to biomarkers of the wound healing process. In vitro measurement of pH and protease activity was demonstrated in model wound exudate. Integration of plastic optical fibres in wound dressing with a wearable electronics will be the basis of a smart wound care management system.
