Background:

Perspiration analysis offers insights into physiological health.
Current wearable sensors face challenges with fluid handling (aggregation, evaporation, reabsorption) and potential skin irritation due to direct contact.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a wearable microfluidic device for precise and continuous perspiration analysis.
To overcome limitations of direct skin contact and improve fluidic manipulation in sweat sensing.

Main Methods:

Utilized biocompatible threads for capillary-driven perspiration collection.
Integrated a hydrophilic microfluidic channel for spontaneous fluid delivery and analysis.
Embedded electrodes within the channel for continuous electrochemical monitoring, avoiding direct skin contact.

Main Results:

Demonstrated continuous perspiration collection and transportation using capillary force.
Successfully performed on-body electrochemical analysis of sodium ions (Na+) as a proof-of-concept.
The pump-free device effectively managed perspiration for analysis.

Conclusions:

The developed wearable microfluidic device enables pump-free, continuous sweat analysis.
This technology addresses key challenges in perspiration sensing, offering a safer and more accurate approach for physiological monitoring.
