A therapeutic device used for monitoring a wound includes an external layer impermeable to gas and moisture with a periphery that adheres to a user's skin about the wound and an internal layer with a periphery adhered to the external layer creating a gaseous reservoir between the external and internal layers. The internal layer is semipermeable to allow gas to diffuse from the gaseous reservoir toward the wound, and to allow moisture to be absorbed from the wound. A spacer layer separates the external and internal layers and absorbs fluid from the wound. A bendable, flexible and stretchable, film-based circuit board is located on the internal layer and includes a processor, at least one sensor, and a wireless transceiver. A perforated inner wound layer is positioned below the circuit board and includes openings configured to allow the at least one sensor to be in communication with the wound.
