3D-printed wearable health monitor at Washington State University measures biochemicals in sweat during exercise, potentially diagnosing diabetes, gout, kidney disease, and heart diseases.
Researchers at Washington State University have developed a wearable health monitor, 3D-printed to measure important biochemicals in sweat during exercise. This non-invasive device could potentially diagnose common diseases like diabetes, gout, kidney disease, and heart disease by accurately monitoring glucose, lactate, uric acid levels, and sweat rate. The research, published in ACS Sensors, aims to reduce healthcare costs by combining 3D printing with disease detection methods.
