Abstract
A smart bandage that serves as a functional bandage includes electronic components that allow the bandage to store large amounts of data. The components can include a processor, battery, data storage media, NFC components, Bluetooth components, and Wi-Fi components. The bandage can remain powered down until receiving an NFC signal, which then causes the bandage to power up its components and communicate using other wireless communications means. Healthcare data compression methods may be used to improve the information storage capabilities of the smart bandage.
