AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Provides a reliable, non-invasive means to monitor biomarker concentrations over time, allowing for the detection of health indicators like cardiac stress, stroke diagnosis, and hydration status without the need for blood draws, with data transmission via wearable devices.

Problems solved by technology

Other test fluids have also considered for determining biomarkers in blood, for example, saliva, urine and breath have all been considered but are awkward and highly prone to contamination.
Utilizing implantable sensors to analyze blood is expensive and invasive and presents significant risks.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]According to the present invention sweat is used to determine concentrations or meaning of biomarkers in blood in a non-invasive manner As shown in FIG. 1, a sweat collector 10 that permits chronological sweat storage of a plurality of samples includes a central sweat collection member 12 having a sweat collecting central base 14 leading to a central fluid transporting core 16 leading to a plurality of arms 18. Core 16 further leads to a top portion 20 (only shown in FIG. 2) which allows for evaporation or storage of the sweat which therefore provides for continued fluid flow.

[0020]The sweat collector member 12 can be formed from any material which will readily transport sweat. Generally, a fibrous web, such as a cellulosic web, is particularly suitable for use in this application. It can be treated with a hydrophilic substance which will promote fluid flow. However, any material which will readily allow aqueous fluid flow can be used as the sweat collection member.

Abstract

Biological chemicals, potentially found in blood are measured by collecting sweat and determining the concentration or meaning of the selected chemical in sweat. The sweat can be collected using a time based, interval collector 10 and analyzed using an external device. It can also be collected on a one time basis, using a flexible, chemical capacitor 50, or on a continuous basis using a chemical, field effect transducer 98.
