Metabolic rate monitoring and weight reduction/management
Abstract:
Engineering research may provide tools to the individual as well as to the public in general, to effectively monitor wellness and health patterns, such as metabolic rate and weight control. Ketone bodies and acetone gas emissions in exhaled breath and skin, in particular, may be used as biomarkers of fatty acid metabolism and may be used in diet control. Two types of technologies, resistive chemosensors and chemomechanical actuators are outlined here as examples of such tools currently under development and of great promise.
