Impaired wound healing affects millions worldwide, especially those without timely healthcare access. TheraHeal provides a portable, wireless platform for real-time, continuous, and personalized wound care. The platform integrates a wearable device for wound imaging and delivery of therapy with an AI Physician. The AI Physician analyzes wound images, diagnoses the wound stage, and prescribes therapies to guide optimal healing. Bioelectronic actuators in the wearable device deliver therapies, including electric fields or drugs, dynamically in a closed-loop system. TheraHeal evaluates wound progress, adjusts therapy as needed, and sends updates to human physicians through a graphical user interface, which also supports manual intervention. In a large animal model, TheraHeal enhanced tissue regeneration, reduced inflammation, and accelerated healing, showcasing its potential to transform personalized wound care.
