KAIST Develops Smart Patch That Can Run Tests Using Sweat Instead of Blood​

Caption

<Figure 3. Label-free analysis graphs of metabolite changes in sweat induced by exercise. Using the fabricated patch in combination with a machine learning model, metabolite concentrations in the sweat of actual subjects were analyzed. Comparison of sweat samples collected before and after consumption of a purine-rich diet, under exercise conditions, revealed label-free detection of changes in uric acid and tyrosine levels, as well as exercise-induced lactate increase. Validation experiments using commercial kits further confirmed the quantification accuracy, supporting the clinical applicability of this platform>
