1. Identify the Problem & Define Requirements

• Determine the target use case (e.g., wound healing monitoring, infection detection, drug delivery).
• Identify key features (e.g., sensors for moisture, temperature, pH, wireless connectivity).
• Consider materials (biocompatible, flexible, breathable).
• Define power source (battery, bioenergy harvesting).

2. Research & Benchmarking

• Study existing smart bandages (features, limitations, cost).
• Consult medical professionals for insights.
• Research sensor technologies (electrochemical, optical, or impedance-based).
• Look into adhesive properties (non-irritating, easy removal).

3. Concept Development & Initial Sketches

• Brainstorm multiple design concepts.
• Sketch possible layouts (sensor placement, power integration).
• Choose a communication method (Bluetooth, NFC, RFID).
• Consider integration with a smartphone app for data monitoring.

4. Material Selection
