Embodiments of the present invention provide apparatuses and methods for determining the location of sensors in a wound dressing. In some embodiments, the wound dressing includes a plurality of sensors adapted to measure wound or patient characteristics. One or more processors are configured to receive wound or patient characteristics data as well as location data. The received data can be used to determine the location of the plurality of sensors, dressing or wound. The sensors may comprise a set of nanosensors. The wound dressing may comprise a pH sensitive ink that can be used to determine the placement of the dressing and determine a pH associated with the wound. The wound dressing may further be used in a negative pressure wound treatment system. |
