Sweat Science

The heat is here and staying attuned to your hydration status is key to your performance. If you struggle to find the optimal balance between appropriate calories, hydration, electrolytes, etc., wearable technology may offer a helpful tool. Traditional methods of tracking body chemistry employ invasive blood-based analyses. Alternatively, sweat is a biofluid rich in electrolytes, metabolites, micronutrients, protein, nucleic acids and other exogenous compounds. Wearable biosensors enable analysis of sweat in situ, achieving real-time, continuous monitoring of sweat dynamics and composition. This capability is of great significance to prevent dehydration, improve performance and potentially reduce risk of injury.🤓🥵💦🏃
