Reporting in ACS Sensors, researchers created a 3D-printed monitor to track glucose, lactate, and uric acid levels in sweat, potentially aiding in disease detection like diabetes and gout.
The unique one-step 3D printing process integrates biosensors changing color to indicate specific biochemical levels in sweat, offering a non-invasive alternative to blood tests.
This wearable health monitor aims to simplify disease detection, utilizing sweat to indicate health conditions like diabetes, gout, kidney, and heart diseases, without requiring specialized equipment.
Researchers emphasize the significance of sweat as a non-invasive source of important metabolites, pointing out its potential to revolutionize health monitoring by measuring biochemical levels.
