Check out our paper published today in Nature https://t.co/Jn4ko7qUpW, titled ‘Applied body-fluid analysis by wearable devices,’ co-authored by a large collection of researchers with programs in this area, including myself and long-time collaborator Dr. @roozyg. With Rooz, our contribution to the paper covers microfluidic ‘lab on the skin’ devices for collection, storage and colorimetric chemical analysis of eccrine sweat – first reported by us in Science Translational Medicine in 2016 https://t.co/VhntTohSlp and later commercialized as the first wearable sweat analytics devices for sports (Gx Patch, with Gatorade) and worker safety (Connected Sweat), developed and manufactured by our engineering team at @epicorebio, now with millions of units sold and continued growth. Our broader perspectives on sweat as a diagnostic biofluid can be found in our recent piece in Science last year https://t.co/IHs5GCFvEh. Big thanks to Prof. Noe Brasier of ETH Zürich for initiating this article, and coordinating with the many co-authors to put together an informative, coherent paper on this important, emerging area at the intersection of science, technology and medicine.

Check out our latest paper on soft, skin-interfaced microfluidic devices for induction, capture and biomarker analysis of microliter volumes of sweat, published in the journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics.  This system, developed in a close collaboration with pediatricians at @LurieChildrens, is designed for diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and for analysis of biomarkers related to this condition.

@epicorebio's Connected Hydration biowearable is tackling daunting challenges of #heat exposure and hydration facing the workplace. @TIME reporting utilized Connected Hydration to track sweat/sodium loss, skin temp, motion. Full story just came out in Aug 14th @TIME print issue!

In most states, you can be fined for leaving a dog outside without water or shade.

But outside of a few states, most people who work outdoors—from agricultural workers to road construction crews and builders—have no heat protections https://t.co/xEZ0BWslp7

[TIME @TIME]

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 40 workers die every year from heat, most in outdoor jobs like farming, construction, and package delivery.

But Doug Parker, director of OSHA says: “We’re confident that’s an undercount" https://t.co/1qFSqRr3Z9

We all sweat differently, so we all have different hydration needs. Backed by science, Gatorade created the #GxSweatPatch to get up close and personal with each athlete. It analyzes how they sweat, their sodium loss, and helps them hydrate according to their needs!
