What is your opinion about this smart plaster?
I think it is a very good idea. These guys has found a problem (the bad heal of a wound due to the continuous removals of the plaster) and they provided a solution.
What do you think could be the good and bad things about the smart plaster?
The clear good thing is that the wound might heal faster. A bad thing is surely the cost, because it will be clearly more expensive than a simple plaster, and I don’t know if the savings for the good thing mentioned before will compensate this cost. I guess it is better for the more serious wounds.

Would you be interested to use this plaster? Why or why not?
If I have a serious wound, definitely yes. On the contrary, for mild wounds it is not so critical, and I really use to heal very well my wounds.

Appreciate your efforts in sharing your thoughts about the smart plaster. Well done!

Here is a better way to structure this idea:

On the contrary, for mild wounds it is not so critical, and I really use to heal very well my wounds.

On the contrary, for mild wounds, it is not so critical. Anyway, my wounds normally heal very well.

Keep going with your writing exercise.

1. I was surprised because I’d always thought that the reason of take off the plaster frequently was in order to avoid infection, and not on the contrary. Being now aware of the reason I’ve change my point of view and I guess is a brilliant idea and could be interesting having a a product with that features.
2. If the plaster works correctly it could be great and will avoid painful to the patients, but I think in case of an error or if doesn’t works well and doesn’t emit any type of signal or warning that there is a failure, it can cause the opposite effect and may already be too late to heal the wound.
3. I’ve never needed a plaster but I think it could be useful to healing wounds, specially deep wounds or wounds that require a long time to heal.

Good reading your thoughts on this medical device.

Here is one sentence you can improve:

I’ve never needed a plaster but I think it could be useful to healing wounds, specially deep wounds or wounds that require a long time to heal.

I’ve never needed a plaster, but I think it could be useful for healing wounds, especially deep wounds or wounds that require a long time to heal.

Well done!

One advantage of the smart plaster is that it allows continuous monitoring without needing to remove it, reducing discomfort and risks of infection.

Until your next post!

What is your opinion about this smart plaster? I think smart plaster is a good invention but at the same time I would like to understand how it works. So propably it needs to be connected to a device and probably more expensive. Usually Public Health has not so many resources.
What do you think could be the good and bad things about the smart plaster? The smart plaster would be a good invention because can speed you the wound healing but at the same time it would be more expensive and not all patients would be able to use them to lack of resoureces.
Would you be interested to use this plaster? Why or why not? I am not sure if I would be intereseted. I need to have the complete information. It could be useful in some ocasions but at the same time probably more heavy and it cannot be comfortable when practicing sports.

Appreciate you sharing your ideas about this medical device.

Here is a sentence that can still be improved:

The smart plaster would be a good invention because can speed you the wound healing but at the same time it would be more expensive and not all patients would be able to use them to lack of resoureces.

The smart plaster would be is a good invention because it can speed up you the wound’s healing, but at the same time, I reckon it would be more expensive than regular plasters and not all patients would be able to use them due to lack of means.

Note, the word “means” means money or financial resources.

Keep working on your writing skills.

1. I think that the smart plaster is a very good idea. You don’t need to remove the plaster to see how the wound is. It’s very comfortable, especially for children.
2. Good things: it’s comfortable, easy to wear, precise control of the wound.
Bad things: more studies are needed to confirm its viability. Whether it is effective will be seen when it is in use on many patients. And maybe the price: the price has not been confirmed but I think it will be high. The use will be interesting in some wounds due to the price.
3. Yes, I would be interested to use this plaster but depending on the wound. If I have a wound that needs to be monitored, I think that the smart plaster is a good option. In case of a simple wound I think that it is not necessary.

Great work with your writing practice.

Here is a better way to write this part of your response:

And maybe the price: the price has not been confirmed but I think it will be high. The use will be interesting in some wounds due to the price.

And perhaps another negative thing about this medical device is its the price.: The price has not been confirmed yet, but I think it will be high. and in turn, would only be interesting The to use will be interesting in on some wounds given that it could be quite expensive due to the price.

Continue doing this exercise.

– I think it is interesting as you are providing a double function to the plaster.
– Good thing: You don’t need to remove the plaster to see what’s going on. Bad thing: Is not dangerous to have the plaster “forever” in your skin?
– Yes I will. Places like hospitals can be dangerous due to the presence of multiresistant bacteria, this could be a perfect solution for open wounds.

Well done writing your answers. In your future writing assignment, try providing more details or elaboration in your responses so you may be able to express your ideas further.

For this response, remember to always write in full, proper sentences:

Good thing: You don’t need to remove the plaster to see what’s going on. Bad thing: Is not dangerous to have the plaster “forever” in your skin?

One of the good things about the smart plaster is that you don’t need to remove the plaster it to see what’s going on with the wound. On the contrary, one drawback is is not dangerous to have the possible risks associated with having the same plaster “forever” on your skin.

Continue doing this exercise to see your skills improve more and more.
