The Water Proof Sweat Monitor
Posted on: February 4, 2019Innovative Wearable Technology
Recently, an international team of researchers has developed a skin patch for monitoring a person’s biometrics.
The device is a waterproof, epidermal, microfluidic, and electronic-enabled for sweat monitoring. This patch captures sweat (from the sweat glands of the subject) in tiny chambers which serve as individual miniature test labs. Each chamber tests for different qualities such as fluid levels, sweat loss and chloride concentrations.
This new device does not require batteries – it draws power from radio waves in the
