sweat

New Delhi: Our body fluid such as sweat contains biologically relevant markers such as ions, heavy metals, metabolites, and proteins and some of them are diffused from the bloodstream which can reflect health status at a chemical level. Therefore, sweat represents a relevant bio-fluid for continuous non-invasive monitoring of physiological health status or in clinical conditions. Indian researchers have developed a new device that can generate sweat at resting and detect markers and transmit through a mobile phone. This sweat based non-invasive point of health diagnosis technology would be an alternative to blood based invasive diagnosis. The study has been…
