Revolutionary Sensor Tracks Glucose Levels in Sweat Long-Term

Originally Published 2 years ago — by AZoSensors

Researchers at Penn State have developed a wearable sensor that can monitor glucose levels in sweat continuously for up to three weeks. The sensor, made from a laser-modified graphene nanocomposite material, also tracks body temperature and pH levels. Previous attempts at sweat-based glucose monitoring have been limited by low biomarker concentration levels and variability in factors such as pH and temperature. The new sensor addresses these challenges and offers a low-cost, convenient, and accurate platform for continuous analysis of sweat, with potential applications in personalized medicine and precision nutrition.

Wireless Patch Monitors C-Reactive Protein in Sweat.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Nature.com

Researchers have developed a wireless patch that can monitor C-reactive protein levels in sweat, which is a marker of inflammation and a potential indicator of various health conditions. The patch uses a biosensor to detect the protein and wirelessly transmit the data to a smartphone app. This technology could enable non-invasive and continuous monitoring of inflammation, potentially leading to earlier detection and treatment of related health issues.
