  • Publication number: 20240184374
    Abstract: A wearable device comprises, a first unit cell that includes a haptic-feedback generator and the haptic-feedback generator is located at a first position on the wearable device. The device includes a second unit cell that includes another haptic-feedback generator, the other haptic-feedback generator is located at a second position that is adjacent to the first position. The device includes a connection between the first unit cell and the second unit cell, the connection being adjustable to move the first unit cell away from the first position or the second unit cell away from the second position. The device also includes a processor that is configured to: cause a size adjustment to either the haptic-feedback generator or the other haptic-feedback generator to provide, a first haptic feedback, and cause a positional adjustment, via the connection, to move the haptic-feedback generator away from the first position to provide a second haptic feedback.

  • Publication number: 20200397619
    Abstract: A product for monitoring the condition of a wound comprises: (a) a sample application zone; (b) a reaction zone downstream of the sample application zone comprising protease-sensitive polymers; (c) coloured particles; and (d) a viewing zone downstream of the sample application zone and reaction zone. The sample application zone transmits fluid towards the viewing zone. Cleavage of the polymers by protease activity present in applied wound fluid results in carriage of the coloured particles with the wound fluid to the viewing zone thereby providing a visual indication of protease activity in the viewing zone. A product for monitoring the condition of a wound comprises a matrix that absorbs wound fluid. The matrix comprises cross-linked and protease-sensitive polymers forming a reaction zone on/in the matrix, and, coloured particles.
