Abstract

Data collection schemes for a wound dressing and related methods are disclosed. In an embodiment, a monitor device for a wound dressing system comprises a wound dressing. The wound dressing comprises an electrode assembly. The electrode assembly comprises a plurality of electrodes including a first set of first electrodes and a second set of second electrodes. The monitor device comprises: a processor, memory and a first interface. The first interface is connected to the processor and the memory. The first interface comprises a plurality of terminals including a first terminal and a second terminal and a data collector coupled to the first terminal and the second terminal. The first terminal is configured to form an electrical connection with a first primary electrode of the first set of first electrodes and the second terminal is configured to form an electrical connection with either a first secondary electrode of the first set of first electrodes or a second primary electrode of the second set of second electrodes. The data collector comprises a data collection controller and is configured to: collect data from the plurality of terminals according to a primary data collection scheme; and collect data from the plurality of terminals according to a secondary data collection scheme, wherein the primary data collection scheme is different from the secondary data collection scheme.

Dependent claims

A monitor device for a wound dressing system comprising a wound dressing, the wound dressing comprising an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly comprising a plurality of electrodes including a first set of first electrodes and a second set of second electrodes, the monitor device comprising:

a processor;
memory;
and
a first interface connected to the processor and the memory, the first interface comprising:
a plurality of terminals including a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal configured to form an electrical connection with a first primary electrode of the first set of first electrodes and the second terminal configured to form an electrical connection with either a first secondary electrode of the first set of first electrodes or a second primary electrode of the second set of second electrodes, and
a data collector coupled to the first terminal and the second terminal, the data collector comprising a data collection unit and a data collection controller configured to, based on a control signal:
collect data from the plurality of terminals according to a primary data collection scheme associated with a default operating state of the wound dressing;
collect data from the plurality of terminals according to a secondary data collection scheme associated with a first operating state of the wound dressing, wherein the first operating state is associated with a degree of wetness of the wound dressing that is greater than the default operating state;
and
collect data from the plurality of terminals according to a tertiary data collection scheme associated with a second operating state of the wound dressing, wherein the second operating state is associated with a degree of wetness of the wound dressing that is greater than the first operating state;
wherein the processor is configured to:
determine an activity level of a user;
select, based on the determined activity level of the user and the degree of wetness of the wound dressing, a data collection scheme from a set of data collection schemes comprising the primary data collection scheme, the secondary data collection scheme, and the tertiary data collection scheme;
and
generate the control signal indicative of the selected data collection scheme, thereby controlling data collection by the data collector based on the activity level and the degree of wetness.

A method for data collection from a wound dressing comprising an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly comprising a plurality of electrodes including a first set of first electrodes and a second set of second electrodes, the method comprising:

identifying a model type of the wound dressing and a degree of wetness of the wound dressing;
determining, based on the model type of the wound dressing and the degree of wetness of the wound dressing, a data collection scheme from a set of data collection schemes comprising:
a primary data collection scheme associated with a default operating state of the wound dressing to collect data from a first terminal forming an electrical connection with a first primary electrode of the first set of first electrodes and a second terminal forming an electrical connection with either a first secondary electrode of the first set of first electrodes or a second primary electrode of the second set of second electrodes;
a secondary data collection scheme associated with a first operating state of the wound dressing, wherein the first operating state corresponds to a degree of wetness of the wound dressing that is greater than the default operating state;
and
a tertiary data collection scheme associated with a second operating state of the wound dressing, wherein the second operating state corresponds to a degree of wetness of the wound dressing that is greater than the first operating state;
and
generating a control signal for a monitor device to collect data according to the selected data collection scheme, wherein the control signal is indicative of a data collection scheme, thereby controlling data collection by the data collector based on the model type of the wound dressing and the degree of wetness.
