WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio – A collaborative effort between the Air Force Research Laboratory and industry partners through the Nano-Bio Manufacturing Consortium has led to the development of next-generation wearable patches that can detect electrolyte levels present in human sweat. Using novel AFRL-developed sensor materials and microfluidic technology, the patches can measure sodium and potassium levels present in sweat and transmit this information wirelessly for scientific analysis. The image inset shows a close-up of the sweat monitoring patch on a field tester. (Photo Illustration Courtesy of GE Global Research)
