Abstract

Aim of the project is fast diagnosis of wound stages and bacterial infection for instant treatment using non- invasive technique. there are three functional hardware components and Zigbee module used in this system. RGB sensor detect the colour changes in the wound region and predict the stages of it. Gas sensor identify the volatile substances released by bacteria. Thus, the parameters are sensed and transmitted to monitoring system through Zigbee module. In FIR radiation therapy long wavelength (15micrometer to 1mm) and low energy infrared light is used which promotes reinnervation, remove pain in the injured section. Digital prescription depends on the wound status.
