Project summary
Why it exists, what I built, and what I learned.
Why I built it
I wanted to adapt the FlowSense sensing stack to a different physiological monitoring problem with a soft wearable patch.
What I built
Sensor selection, prototype fabrication, thermal-transfer simulation, wound-data collection, and preclinical analysis workflows.
What worked
The platform showed how thermal, humidity, and temperature sensing could track wound-healing progression over time.
What failed
The problem space is messy because wound healing changes with physiology, movement, and tissue context.
What I learned
A platform approach works best when the sensing, analysis, and study workflow are designed together.
