Background:

Textile sweat sensors offer non-invasive health monitoring.
Accurate real-time monitoring requires rapid sweat capture and prevention of evaporation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a unidirectional, pump-free microfluidic sweat management system for textile sensors.
To enhance the accuracy and stability of non-invasive health monitoring using smart garments.

Main Methods:

A nanofiber sheath layer on sensing filaments was utilized for capillary-driven sweat capture.
Differential hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of yarns prevented sweat evaporation.
Laplace pressure differences between fibers facilitated sweat expulsion, enabling pumpless microfluidic control.

Main Results:

The system achieved rapid (<5 s) and sensitive (19.8 nA μM⁻¹) sweat detection.
Stable monitoring with suppressed signal noise and drift was demonstrated.
Integrated yarn sensors in smart garments maintained performance after 20 washes.

Conclusions:

This work provides a solution for high-precision, stable, and non-invasive health monitoring via smart garments.
The developed microfluidic system enables effective sweat management in textile-based sensors.
The technology is suitable for creating durable and reliable smart health monitoring apparel.
