Wound healing is a complicated biological process that important for restoring tissue integrity and function after injury. Infection, usually due to bacterial colonization, significantly complicates this by hindering the course of enhancing chances systemic complications. Recent advances in wearable biosensors have transformed wound care making real-time monitoring biomarkers such as pH, temperature, moisture, infection-related metabolites like trimethylamine uric acid. This review focuses on recent biosensor technologies designed management. Novel sensor architectures, flexible stretchable electronics, colorimetric patches, electrochemical platforms, enable non-invasive detection changes associated with wounds high specificity sensitivity. These are increasingly combined AI analytics based smartphones can timely personalized interventions. Examples PETAL patch applies multiple sensing mechanisms wide-ranging views status closed-loop systems connect therapeutic devices automate infection control. Additionally, self-powered tap into body heat or energy from biofluids themselves avoid any external batteries thus more effective field use limited resources. Internet Things connectivity allows further support remote sharing data, supporting telemedicine applications. Although developed relatively rapidly their prospects continue expand, regular clinical application stalled significant challenges regulatory, cost, patient compliance, technical problems related accuracy, biofouling, power, among others, need be addressed innovative solutions. The goal synthesize current trends, challenges, future directions monitoring, emphasis potential improve outcomes reduce healthcare burdens. innovations leading way toward next-generation bridging advanced materials science, biotechnology, digital health.
