Sweat-based wearable devices have attracted increasing attention by providing abundant physiological information and continuous measurement through noninvasive healthcare monitoring. Sweat pressure generated sweat glands to the skin surface associated with osmotic effects may help to elucidate such parameters as physiological conditions and psychological factors. This study introduces a wearable device for measuring secretion sweat pressure through noninvasive, continuous monitoring. Secretion pressure is detected by a microfluidic chip that shows the resistance variance from a paired electrode pattern and transfers digital signals to a smartphone for real-time display. A human study demonstrates this measurement with different exercise activities, showing the pressure ranges from 1.3 to 2.5 kPa. This device is user-friendly and applicable to exercise training and personal health care. The convenience and easy-to-wear characteristics of this device may establish a foundation for future research investigating sweat physiology and personal health care.
基于汗液的可穿戴设备通过提供丰富的生理信息以及通过无创医疗监测进行连续测量，已引起越来越多的关注。由汗腺产生并通过渗透作用到达皮肤表面的汗液压力，可能有助于阐明诸如生理状况和心理因素等参数。本研究介绍了一种用于通过无创、连续监测来测量汗液分泌压力的可穿戴设备。分泌压力由一个微流控芯片检测，该芯片显示来自配对电极图案的电阻变化，并将数字信号传输到智能手机进行实时显示。一项人体研究展示了在不同运动活动下的这种测量，显示压力范围为1.3至2.5千帕。该设备对用户友好，适用于运动训练和个人医疗保健。该设备的便利性和易于佩戴的特点可能为未来研究汗液生理学和个人医疗保健奠定基础。
