Capacitive immunosensor based on grafted Anodic Aluminum Oxide for the detection of matrix metalloproteinase 9 found in chronic wounds.

Chronic wounds impose a significant burden on healthcare resources, society and more specifically on patients. Preliminary research showed that as of today, there is not a system that can do a precise monitoring of these wounds so that healthcare systems can manage them with efficiency. The overall aim of our project is to produce a capacitive sensor able to detect a specific molecule in chronic wounds, thus giving information concerning its inflammation state.
