A group of researchers from the Central Electrochemical Research Institute has developed a flexible, low-cost wearable sensor that can track sweat for monitoring health and physiological status of the human body.
The group is led by Vinu Mohan AM, scientist at the CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CECRI). He is a recipient of a fellowship instituted by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), which says that this sensor can obviate the necessity of blood and other invasive tests.
Their research has been published in the journal ‘ACS Sensor’. “The wearable microfluidic sensor, which does not need a clean room, can be used for in situ monitoring of multiple biomarkers simultaneously from sweat samples. Using the fellowship, Mohan is improving upon the sensor to make it stretchable as well,” the DST said in a statement.

Dr Vinu Mohan, a recipient of the INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship instituted by the Department of Science and Technology, has developed a flexible low cost, wearable sensor that can track sweat for monitoring the health and physiological status of the human body. It can obviate the necessity of blood and other invasive tests.
The wearable microfluidic sensor, which does not need a clean room, can be used for in situ monitoring of biomarkers such as lactate, Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), and Alkaline/acidic nature (pH) simultaneously from sweat samples.
