From Problem to solution
Problem: Wound Infections
Chronic wounds and combat-related injuries often lead to infections, which are exacerbated by the rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
First Contributor: Detection Delays
- Today, infections are often detected by visually inspecting the wound or sending samples to a lab, a process that takes time.
- When an infection is identified, patients are given broad-spectrum antibiotics which contribute to antibiotic-resistance bacteria.
