A long-lasting, 3D-printed, adhesive-free wearable provides a more comprehensive picture of a user’s physiological state. The device, which measures water vapor and skin emissions of gases, continuously tracks and logs physiological data associated with dehydration, metabolic shifts, and stress levels.
The device, worn on the forearm, resembles a small 3D printed cuff and can be worn continuously. The device sensors constantly measure gases emitted by the user, comparing their concentrations against normal outside air.
The wearable delivers continuous, real-time data viewable on a smartphone or computer via secure Bluetooth. With a device such as this, athletes can monitor hydration and exertion during training. The wearable could also record mental health and chronic disease symptoms to aid in prevention and treatment. In fact, tracking and monitoring physiological signs of stress in gas emissions can even help identify early metabolic disturbances. (Image credit: Gutruf Lab)
