K. Takei and colleagues show a future wearable health monitoring system (smart bandage) that can monitor real‐time health conditions, provide a cure by delivering a drug depending on the health condition, and send the diagnostic results to a doctor wirelessly. The device presented on page 3299 can both save a lot of cost and time for patients and doctors and is a comfortable and private healthcare solution. This is a proof‐of‐concept for the future smart bandage.
