Wearable sensors have the potential to enable measurement of sweat chloride outside the clinic. Here we assess the feasibility of mild exercise as an alternative to pilocarpine iontophoresis for sweat generation. The results from this proof-of-concept study suggest that mild exercise could be a feasible approach to obtain reliable measurements of sweat chloride concentration within 20-30 min using a wearable sensor.
可穿戴传感器有潜力实现门诊以外环境下的汗液氯化物测量。在此,我们评估轻度运动作为毛果芸香碱离子电渗疗法替代方式用于汗液生成的可行性。这项概念验证研究的结果表明,轻度运动可能是一种可行的方法,能使用可穿戴传感器在20至30分钟内获得可靠的汗液氯化物浓度测量值。
