Details of Patent
This patent is for Sweat conductivity, volumetric sweat rate and galvanic skin response devices. The invention is described as being able to measure volumetric sweat rate that use alternating current interrogation of electrodes, and embodiments that have a reusable component and a disposable component. The disclosure further includes a method for detecting an air bubble within a volumetric sweat rate device. The disclosure also includes methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium claims for using a device configured to perform periodic volumetric sweat rate measurements to inform estimates of total body water loss, to aid in the avoidance of heat stress or dehydration, and to facilitate comparison of environmental influences on heat stress or dehydration. The device is further described as a sweat sensing device configured to be worn on an individual's skin with enormous potential for applications ranging from athletics, to neonatology, to pharmacological monitoring, to personal digital health.
