An Electronically Simplified Sweat-Sensing System to Track Health Status (4 of 4)

Caption

Picture of a flexible microfluidic module for collecting sweat and measuring the rate of sweat release, the total loss of sweat, the concentration of chloride and the pH level. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Jan. 18th 2019, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by A.J. Bandodkar at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, and colleagues was titled, "Battery-free, skin-interfaced microfluidic/electronic system for simultaneous electrochemical, colorimetric, and volumetric sweat analysis."
