    Description

    The BioElectronics to Sense and Treat (BEST) program seeks to develop an automated bioelectronic smart bandage that can predict, prevent, and treat wound infections and be deployed at all levels of military medical care including on the battlefield. This bandage will continually monitor a wound for indicators of failure to heal due to infection and employ closed-loop control to intervene when infection is predicted or to resolve an existing infection. By the end of the program, a device will be derisked and accelerated to medical device technology readiness level 6* (TRL-6, system integration and testing). Additionally, to prepare for eventual technology transition, performer teams will develop and execute effective regulatory, clinical, and commercialization strategies with the goal of maximizing opportunities for advanced development and follow-on funding.
