Claim 13:
14. A method of operating a wound monitoring and/or therapy system comprising a wound dressing including a plurality of sensors arranged on a string of sensors configured to measure one or more wound characteristics, wherein the plurality of sensors are positioned on a wound-facing surface of the string of sensors so that the plurality of sensors comes into contact with a wound and a plurality of conductive tracks interconnecting the plurality of sensors, the plurality of conductive tracks configured to maintain connectivity when the wound dressing has been stretched, wherein the string of sensors is configured to be curved about itself within the wound, the method comprising:
collecting, from a positioning device positioned in or on the wound dressing, positioning data with a detector positioned over the wound dressing when the wound dressing is positioned over the wound; and
determining, with a controller, position and/or orientation in the wound of a first sensor from the plurality of sensors based on the positioning data.
