Wearable Sweat Sensors - Towards Big Data for Human Health
Wearable sensor technologies play a significant role in realizing personalized medicine through continuously monitoring an individual’s health state. Human sweat is an excellent candidate for non-invasive monitoring. I will present our recent advancements on fully-integrated perspiration analysis systems that can simultaneously measure sweat rate, metabolites, electrolytes, drugs and heavy metals.
About Ali Javey
