Abstract
Wound healing is a critically important but biochemically complex process often requiring intense or prolonged medical intervention to achieve effective clinical outcomes. The increasing prevalence of chronic nonhealing wounds places a significant burden on a patient's quality of life as well as large financial strain on healthcare providers, especially as the treatment options are limited. There is strong potential for "smart" bandages with the ability to both diagnose and deliver therapies to chronic wounds. The potential uses and development of porous silicon structures and devices with regard to biomarker detection, temperature and pH monitoring, infection control, and therapeutic delivery to wounds are extensively reviewed here and a future perspective on the advantages of progressing to theranostic wound dressings is also provided.
