Check out our paper published today in Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…, titled ‘Applied body-fluid analysis by wearable devices,’ co-authored by a large collection of researchers with programs in this area, including myself and long-time collaborator Dr. @roozyg. With Rooz, our contribution to the paper covers microfluidic ‘lab on the skin’ devices for collection, storage and colorimetric chemical analysis of eccrine sweat – first reported by us in Science Translational Medicine in 2016 science.org/doi/10.1126/scit… and later commercialized as the first wearable sweat analytics devices for sports (Gx Patch, with Gatorade) and worker safety (Connected Sweat), developed and manufactured by our engineering team at @epicorebio, now with millions of units sold and continued growth. Our broader perspectives on sweat as a diagnostic biofluid can be found in our recent piece in Science last year science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…. Big thanks to Prof. Noe Brasier of ETH Zürich for initiating this article, and coordinating with the many co-authors to put together an informative, coherent paper on this important, emerging area at the intersection of science, technology and medicine.

Check out our latest paper on soft, skin-interfaced microfluidic devices for induction, capture and biomarker analysis of microliter volumes of sweat, published in the journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics.  This system, developed in a close collaboration with pediatricians at @LurieChildrens, is designed for diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and for analysis of biomarkers related to this condition. doi.org/10.1016/j.bios.2024.…
