Sweat Sensor (VIDEO)

University of California - Berkeley

Caption

UC Berkeley computer engineers have built a small, portable, wearable device that can read levels of important body fluids simply by detecting sweat on a user's skin. In addition to sports applications, the researchers hope one day to offer it to the medical field, as a quick, easy way to monitor a patient's condition.
