This paper describes the development of a mobile sensory device (referred to as MSD) that can be used during the treatment to ease the documentation of important parameters in a streamlined process. These parameters include the patient’s general information, plasma source device used in the treatment, plasma treatment time, ambient humidity and temperature. MSD was developed as a standalone Raspberry Pi-based version and attachable module version for laptops and tablets. Both versions feature a user-friendly GUI, temperature–humidity sensor, microphone, treatment report generation and export. For the logging of plasma treatment time, a sound-based plasma detection system was developed, initially for three medically certified plasma source devices: kINPen® MED, plasma care®, and PlasmaDerm® Flex. Experimental validation of the developed detection system shows accurate and reliable detection is achievable at 5 cm measurement distance in quiet and noisy environments for all devices. All in all, the developed tool is a first step to a more automated, integrated, and streamlined approach of plasma treatment documentation that can help prevent user variability.enghttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0620device developmentFFT-based analysismedical plasma sourcesplasma medicinesound detectiontreatment documentationArticle
