Proposed Electrical Stimulation Device for Wound Healing Therapy

The management of chronic wounds has emerged as a crucial and significant concern for patients afflicted with chronic diseases like diabetic foot disease. This condition has escalated into a life-threatening issue for numerous individuals worldwide. Electrical stimulation devices have played a pivotal role in addressing various cases and have had a direct impact on the advancement of therapeutic techniques and healthcare in the domain of wound treatment and healing. Design an Electrical Stimulation ES device facing many challenges suck as the compellability of the device, how to design ES device able to provide many therapeutic techniques with high efficiency and low cost. This paper presents a proposed electrical stimulation device, which has been designed utilizing the Arduino platform's Integrated Development Environment IDE and fritzing. The proposed model in this research paper offers characteristics such as current, voltage, and variable frequencies. It applies to numerous medical conditions and diverse types of wounds, be they acute or chronic. The Electrical Stimulation ES device in this study delivers a direct or monophasic current signal with varying strengths and adjustable periods, which contribute to the healing process. To assess the efficacy of the electrical stimulation device, both the Direct Current Mode DCM and the Monophasic Current Mode MPCM were tested on whole blood WB samples using an in vitro method. The vitro results show that the Direct current mode provide the best effect on the blood sample during the testing of the proposed Electrical stimulation device on patients that suffer or not suffer from diabetic foot disease.
