YOUR HEALTH: Monitoring your health anytime, anywhere


STATE COLLEGE, PA. Scientists are developing a tiny, wearable device that can measure human sweat and provide feedback on a range of chronic conditions.

This could make monitoring glucose much easier for diabetics.

Penn State's team of bioengineers has developed a small, portable device that can be used to monitor health non-invasively.

It's a waterproof patch with embedded sensors.

Bioengineers designed it to adhere to and conform to the skin, during daily activities and during exercise.

"This will allow us to capture all the important information related to heart rate, breathing and sweat analysis," said Professor Huanyu Cheng, technical assistant at Penn State Engineering.

The device collects sweat and analyzes it for pH, sodium and glucose levels.

These readings are especially important for people with low blood sugar or diabetes.

"So we don't have to draw blood all the time and then we can analyze glucose and the other biomarkers," said Cheng.

Professor Cheng said signals sent by the sensor are sent to a smartphone or the cloud so that a patient's healthcare provider can quickly access the information.

The wearable technology market is projected to grow from $ 20 billion in 2015 to nearly $ 70 billion in 2025, led by the healthcare sector.

Apple, Accenture, Adidas, Fujitsu, Nike, Philips, Reebok and Samsung are driving growth and development in this sector.

A new portable infant device developed by a social enterprise in Cambridge, California could be key to preventing deadly or debilitating diseases such as diarrhea, malnutrition, malaria, human immunodeficiency virus infection, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV / AIDS), and others be.

The benefits of wearables in healthcare are well documented, but include remote monitoring so patients can go home earlier to improve their comfort and free up the manual hospital control science.
