When It Comes to Your Health, Sweat is the Magic Elixir
Using funding from The BioScience Pipeline program, Environmental Engineering Professor Baikun Li is designing a wearable health device that can sense many different physiological markers, including dehydration, potassium, sodium, and glucose levels. The source of all that information? Your sweat. The device will also be self-powered by the sweat itself, allowing the team to ditch traditional re-chargeable batteries.
