EPIDERMAL SENSING SYSTEMS FOR OPTICAL READOUT, VISUALIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF BIOFLUIDS

摘要

The invention provides a versatile sensing platform for sensing and analysis of biofluids, particularly well-suited for sensing and analysis of sweat. Systems of the invention allows for sensitive and selective detection of a range of analytes in sweat including metabolites, electrolytes and biomarkers. Systems of the invention provide a noninvasive and accurate means for quantitative characterization of important sweat characteristics including sweat volume, sweat loss and sweat rate. Systems of the invention are compatible with materials and device geometries for important class of conformal tissue mounted electronic devices, including epidermal electronic devices.
