SEDAS TTW 18271 SPS: Sweat sensing device and data analytics for semi-continuous sepsis monitoring
Duration
October 2021 - September 2025Project Manager
There is a strong demand for non-invasive, continuous and prolonged monitoring of biomarkers that indicate health and well-being. Sweat analysis is ideal for this: sweat is accessible in an almost completely non-obtrusive way, and it contains physiologically rich information. To enable the impactful application of sweat analysis, the SEDAS project will (1) realize an on-skin flexible sweat-sensing device that enables use of even subnanoliter amounts of sweat for fast and semi-continuous biomarkers detection, and (2) develop advanced biophysical models of the sweat production, that will enable us to extract predictive information from the device, as an early warning for sepsis.
