Abstract

Integrating organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with light therapy can significantly advance biomedical applications by offering non-invasive, precise, and customizable treatments. Developing innovative device designs and performing cellular tests is essential to assess the safety and effect of OLED-based light therapies in dermatology. As such, a wearable OLED medical device prototype has been created for easy attachment to the body, ensuring consistent exposure to skin injuries due to its comfortable fit and user-friendly operation. Moreover, it has demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing wound healing, as indicated by a max 23% increase in fibroblast proliferation at the cellular level.
