Wound management is a major global challenge and poses a significant financial burden to the healthcare system. In article 1700718, Mohsen Akbari and co‐workers develop an advanced multifunctional dressing (GelDerm) capable of colorimetric measurement of pH, an indicator of bacterial infection, and release of antibiotic agents at the wound site. GelDerm makes wound care easier and less painful to the patient, and more cost‐effective for the healthcare system.
