First Claim
1. A wound dressing comprising:
- a substrate configured to engage biological tissue of a patient;
an optical energy emitting device attached to the substrate; and
a radio frequency receiving device electrically coupled with the optical energy emitting device,the radio frequency receiving device being configured to capture energy from a radio frequency transmission and being further configured to direct at least a portion of the energy to the optical energy emitting device;
a biological sensor attached to the substrate and electrically coupled with the radio frequency receiving device; and
wherein, upon receipt of the directed portion of the energy from the radio frequency receiving device, the optical energy emitting device is configured to emit light onto biological tissue of a patient.

Abstract
A wound dressing includes a substrate, an optical energy emitting device, and a radio frequency receiving device. The substrate is configured to engage biological tissue of a patient. The optical energy emitting device is attached to the substrate, and the radio frequency receiving device is electrically coupled with the optical energy emitting device. The radio frequency receiving device is configured to capture energy from radio frequency transmissions. The radio frequency receiving device is further configured to direct at least a portion of the energy to the optical energy emitting device. Upon receipt of the energy from the radio frequency receiving device, the optical energy emitting device is configured to emit light onto biological tissue of a patient.
