In some embodiments, a wound dressing that incorporates a number of sensors or sensors separate from the wound dressing can be utilized in order to monitor characteristics of a wound as it heals or to identify one or more risk factors or conditions that may precipitate a wound. In some implementations, a wound dressing configured to be positioned in contact with a wound includes a substantially flexible substrate supporting one or more sensors. The one or more sensors can include temperature sensors, conductivity sensors, multispectral optical measurements sensors, pH sensors, pressure sensors, colorimetric sensors, optical sensors, ultraviolet (UV) sensors, or infrared (IR) sensors. 1. A wound monitoring apparatus , comprising:a wound dressing configured to be positioned in contact with a wound, the wound dressing comprising at least one substantially flexible substrate supporting one or more sensors.2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one substantially flexible substrate comprises a substantially flexible printed circuit.3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the substantially flexible printed circuit comprises a flexible polymer.4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one substantially flexible substrate comprises a substantially flexible non-conducting mesh.5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise a plurality of sensors electrically connected with each other claim 1 , the plurality of sensors further configured to be electrically connected with a controller and a power source.6.
