•Sweat-powered wrap tracks glucose, vitamins, drugs from your finger
79% Informative
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed an electronic finger wrap that can monitor vital chemical levels, such as glucose, vitamins, and even drugs, directly from fingertip sweat.
Remarkably, this wearable device is powered by the same sweat it analyzes.
Device operates using biofuel cells positioned where it contacts the fingertip, which efficiently collect and convert chemicals in sweat into electricity.
