The disclosure describes a smart bandage assembly. The bandage assembly includes a bandage member a movement sensor, a pressure sensor, a methane sensor, or a humidity sensor a microcontroller a memory and a radio transceiver for communication with a mobile communications device. The electronic components of the bandage assembly may be embedded within the bandage member. In some implementations, the radio transceiver harvests RF energy to power the memory within the bandage assembly so that sensor data stored in the memory can be accessed by a mobile communications device when other remaining electronic devices in the bandage assembly remain in a sleep state or power off mode.
