Abstract

Introduction: Skin conditions, regardless of their duration, remain a significant obstacle in clinical practice, directly impacting areas such as surgery, nursing, regenerative medicine, and the healthcare system as a whole. Objective: To update knowledge about existing devices for this purpose to guide future research that will better support the management of complex wound dressings. Method: An integrative review was conducted, gathering information for reading and analysis from online research on virtual platforms, using the following keywords: "Wounds, burns, healing, biosensors, ESP32, Bluetooth low energy, smart dressings" with AND or OR search, considering the title and/or abstract, with the selected articles being read in full. Result: The material for reading and analysis was selected from the SciELO, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus platforms, considering only those most related to the topic, for which the full texts were read, including 34 articles. Conclusion: This review reinforces that temperature and humidity are central variables of the scar microenvironment and that their objective monitoring can enhance both experimental research and future clinical applications. It also highlighted that, although sophisticated smart dressing platforms and biosensors exist, there is still significant room for more accessible, reproducible, and translationally oriented solutions.
