Problem

In situ collection and quantitative analysis of sweat will allow for monitoring of physiologic health status (e.g., metabolism, blood sugar, hydration state, respiratory distress, fever, or hyperhidrosis) and diagnosis of disease (e.g., cystic fibrosis). Whole-body sweat collection and detection has been limited to the laboratory using standard chemical analysis techniques.

Solution

This project leverages smart fabrics to detect and diagnose disease using sweat collected in the fabric.
