The novel sensor accurately measures markers such as cholesterol and lactate- crucial for early detection of diseases
The team’s wearable, stretchable, hydrogel-based sensor overcomes the limitations of current methods that rely on biofluid samples, such as blood, urine and sweat. This makes it a promising alternative for wearable, continuous, and real-time health monitoring, facilitating the early detection of conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and stroke. It can also efficiently monitor athletes’ lactate levels, an indication of exhaustion and tissue hypoxia, which affect their performance.
This development is especially pertinent to areas including chronic disease management, population-wide screening, remote patient monitoring and sport physiology.
