An apparatus and related aspects for providing reduced pressure to a wound site are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a source of negative pressure configured to provide negative pressure via a first fluid flow path from an inlet of the source of negative pressure to the wound site covered by a wound dressing. The apparatus further comprises a pressure sensor configured to monitor a pressure level in a fluid flow path that is in fluid connection with the wound site or to monitor a pressure level at the wound site, and control circuitry operatively connected to the source of negative pressure and to the pressure sensor. The control circuitry is configured to activate the source of negative pressure in order to establish a set target pressure at the wound site, and store a plurality of pressure values, as measured by the pressure sensor, while the source of negative pressure is active. The control circuitry is further configured to configure one or more control parameters of the apparatus based at least in part on the stored plurality of pressure values.

The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method, system, and corresponding computer program product for identifying an infection risk at a wound site through continuous temperature monitoring. The disclosed solution involves acquiring temperature data from a plurality of sensors positioned near the wound site at predefined intervals, processing the data to form a time-series of temperature values, and analyzing the time-series to detect a temperature trend. Deviations from a predefined baseline temperature pattern associated with normal wound healing are identified, and an alert signal is generated upon detecting a deviation indicative of a potential infection risk.

An apparatus and related aspects for providing reduced pressure to a tissue site are disclosed. The apparatus comprises an electrical load and a power supply arrangement connected to the electrical load. The power supply arrangement comprises a battery, a first voltage regulator connected to the battery, a second voltage regulator connected to the first voltage regulator and to the electrical load, and a capacitor connected to the second voltage regulator. The first voltage regulator is configured to receive an input voltage from the battery and to output a supply voltage to the second voltage regulator. Moreover, the first voltage regulator is further configured to, in response to the input voltage being above a first voltage level, output the supply voltage to the second voltage regulator based on the received input voltage. The first voltage regulator is further configured to, in response to the input voltage being below a second voltage level, output a zero-voltage to the second voltage regulator. The second voltage regulator is configured to, in response to receiving the supply voltage from the first voltage regulator at an input, output a first target voltage to the load based on the received supply voltage. The second voltage regulator is further configured to, in response to receiving the zero-voltage voltage from the first voltage regulator at the input, output a second target voltage to the load by discharging the capacitor.
