'My sweat my health': Real time sweat analysis using wearable micro-fluidic devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
— In this work a robust, non-invasive and wearable micro-fluidic system was developed and employed to analyse pH of sweat in real time during exercise. The device is incorporated in an optical detection platform designed to provide real-time information on sweat composition. The device has been tested by monitoring the pH of sweat during 55 minutes of cycling activity. During these trials, the data obtained by the micro-fluidic system was compared to pH measurements obtained in parallel studies with a conventional electrochemical sensor.

WEARABLE MICRO-FLUIDIC pH SWEAT SENSING DEVICE BASED ON COLORIMETRIC IMAGING TECHNIQUES
In this paper a wearable electronic-free micro-fluidic device for the continuous monitoring of pH in sweat during exercise is described. The sensing capability is based on ionogels, ionic liquid hydrogels, containing pH sensitive dyes capable of reporting pH activity in the range from 3 to 10. Previously, we reported a flexible micro-fluidic barcode capable of measuring the pH of sweat in real ...

Perspiration-based wearable biosensors facilitate continuous monitoring of individuals' health states with real-time and molecular-level insight. The inherent inaccessibility of sweat in sedentary individuals in large volume (≥10 µL) for on-demand and in situ analysis has limited our ability to capitalize on this noninvasive and rich source of information. A wearable and miniaturized iontophore...
