No finger pricks: Tiny laser-loaded band-aid tracks glucose from sweat | The innovative device integrates microlaser technology into a soft hydrogel film for precise biomarker detection in real-time.
NTU Singapore researchers unveil a band-aid that tracks health biomarkers through sweat, offering a non-invasive health monitoring solution.
The NTU research team, led by Assistant Professor Chen Yu-Cheng from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), has ingeniously integrated a microlaser technology into a soft hydrogel film, creating a flexible and compact sensing device akin to a plaster. Dr. Lin Chun-Hsien, a physician from the National Taiwan University Hospital specializing in endocrinology, expressed optimism about the NTU device’s potential impact on patient care. The NTU research team aims to enhance the device’s capabilities further, potentially expanding its application to detect additional substances, such as drugs and other chemical compounds present in sweat.
