Scientists develop innovative wearable sensor for measuring sweat lactate levels during exercise

The suggested microfluidic sensor has potential uses in the management of athlete training and healthcare monitoring. It can effectively trap air bubbles present in sweat to accurately and continuously measure sweat lactate levels. Isao Shitanda from TUS, Japan, is credited.

A person’s hydration level, electrolyte balance, and overall physiological state can all be learned from their sweat, which is a valuable source of health information. For instance, the amount of lactate in sweat can be used as a biomarker to determine how intense an exercise is. Its measurement can be used to determine how much lactic acid is present in the blood and, in turn, to forecast muscle fatigue.

Wearable sensors now enable continuous
