Sweat-Based Wearable Device to Measure Glucose

The application of wearable devices to monitor human health status has opened up new avenues for healthcare providers. There are plenty of wearable devices available in the market that can monitor physiological conditions like steps, blood pressure, heart rate, and sleep quality. But these sensors are not designed to measure biochemical data, which would help in real-time monitoring of various health conditions.

For example, diabetics and those at risk for diabetes, require continuous self-monitoring of their blood glucose level to manage their condition. This self-monitoring typically involves obtaining a small blood sample, usually by pricking a finger to draw blood. However, recent technological advances have helped the researchers to develop one truely non-invasive method to measure glucose levels. These devices monitor glucose from your sweat. However, these sweat-based glucose sensors still face many challenges. A slower analysis time, coupled with an electronic measurement that is unstable, makes these devices unreliable.

Development of Sweat Testing Sensor

Recently, scientists have designed a sweat-analysis strip that is disposable and integrated it into a wearable smart device. This wearable smart band has the ability to monitor physiological conditions like heart rate, oxygen saturation levels in the blood, and other health-related conditions.

To operate this smart band, first, the user has to attach the sweat strip to the area of the body for which he/she wants to measure the vitals. Then the user has to wear the smart band on the wrist. When the user perspires, and enough perspiration gets accumulated (during physical activity or other activities), the strip’s hydrochromic layer dissolves. This indicates to the user that he or she should now remove the strip along with its protective film. The next step is to insert this strip into the smart band, which then will wirelessly transfer the user’s data to the user’s mobile device via Bluetooth.

A study was conducted to test the performance of the device. In this study, 4 healthy subjects used the device while rope skipping. Sweat glucose data measured using this device was very similar to the blood glucose levels measured with your commercial glucometer, thus validating its reliability.

The sweat-sensing bracelet could be next wearable tech

Wristband or bracelets that can sense your sweat could be the next big thing in the field of wearable technology. Recently, researchers have developed sensors that can be placed on your skin via a wristband or headband to measure your sweat continuously. This continuous monitoring of chemicals in your sweat could be used for medical diagnostics and health evaluation.

Hela Bracelets

At Hela Biotech, the developers have introduced a novel wearable sweat monitoring device. This device is a translucent bracelet integrated with a sweat monitor. A sensor array and flexible circuit board make up the monitor. The device measures the concentration of different analytes in sweat. Then the Bluetooth transmitter in the device transmits the data to a mobile phone.

By using this wearable smart device, the concentration of different analytes in sweat can be measured. The concentration of sodium in the sweat can help in detecting dehydration in runners. According to the researchers, human sweat is full of chemicals like electrolytes, analytes, proteins, and heavy metals. Hence, the device can be helpful in the monitoring of sweat to detect a variety of diseases.

Sweat Sensing Mechanism in Hela Bracelet

A sensor array, a flexible circuit board, and power supply components make up the sweat monitor this smart Hela bracelet. When a person perspires, a porous golden-nano sweat sensor senses the sweat, and the cellular fiber material guides the perspiration. The three-core biochip function analyzes the sweat, and the AI Smart Bio Algorithm then measures the blood glucose levels.  The porous golden-nano sweat sensor integrated into this monitor is so sensitive and efficient that even one drop of sweat is good enough to measure blood glucose levels.
