In spite of remarkable progress in the field of wound curation, treatment of chronic wounds remains a challenge for medical services. The constant rise in the number of patients with chronic wounds and their related financial burden has caused concern for the healthcare system. The complicated and dynamic nature of chronic wounds has increased the curation time and difficulty of wound healing with conventional bandages. Efficient healing of these wounds requires new bandages with the ability of real-time monitoring, data analysis, and drug delivery, which protect the wound against infection and accelerate the treatment process. The recent development of smartphone applications and digital equipment in medicine provides an opportunity for significant improvement in wound care through the incorporation of "smart" technologies into clinical practice. The focus of this review is to provide an overview of the current status of smartphones and digital technology in the management of wounds.
尽管在伤口处理领域取得了显著进展，但慢性伤口的治疗仍然是医疗服务面临的一项挑战。慢性伤口患者数量的不断增加及其相关的经济负担已引起医疗保健系统的关注。慢性伤口复杂多变的性质增加了使用传统绷带进行伤口愈合的处理时间和难度。这些伤口的有效愈合需要具有实时监测、数据分析和药物递送能力的新型绷带，以保护伤口免受感染并加速治疗过程。医学领域中智能手机应用和数字设备的最新发展为通过将“智能”技术融入临床实践来显著改善伤口护理提供了机会。本综述的重点是概述智能手机和数字技术在伤口管理中的现状。
