Wearable multi-analyte sweat sensor and novel sweat rate sensor using novel resonance-based static pressure piezoelectronic sensor
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Personalized Medicine is the future of health care and requires continuous monitoring of various physiological parameters for making medical decisions. Sweat is an important means of non-invasive continuous monitoring of such physiologically important molecules and proteins. In this thesis, I present technologies which are significant steps in the making of a wearable sweat measuring device which can work on a population. I present three technologies: 1. A wearable sweat sensing platform which allows non-invasive real-time monitoring of glucose, lactate, sodium and potassium in sweat and skin temperature. 2. A novel sweat rate sensor based on hygroscopic amplification and piezoelectric transduction and 3. Novel Piezoelectric static pressure sensors based on resonance which are used in the sweat rate sensor. Typically, piezoelectric sensors are said to not be able to measure static pressures, but here I demonstrate that it is possible using resonance coupling
