The patch can calibrate the glucose measurements based on the pH and temperature changes in sweat due to factors such as exercise and eating.
A team of researchers at Penn State has developed a new wearable patch that can monitor your health by analyzing your sweat. The patch, which is made of a special material that can detect glucose, pH, and temperature in sweat, can provide valuable information about your body’s condition and help diagnose and manage diseases such as diabetes.
