  • Patent number: 10736565
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed invention provide devices and methods to incorporate suspension-based, i.e., hydrogel-based and thixotropic compound-based, ion-selective electrodes and reference electrodes into a wearable sweat sensing device. Embodiments of this device are configured to monitor sweat electrolyte concentrations, trends, and ratios under demanding use conditions. The accompanying method includes use of the disclosed device to track fluid and electrolyte gain and loss in order to produce an electrolyte estimate, such as a sweat electrolyte concentration, a sweat electrolyte concentration trend, a sweat rate, or a concentration ratio between a plurality of electrolytes.

  • Patent number: 10405794
    Abstract: The disclosed invention includes sweat sensing devices configured to periodically measure sweat conductivity and galvanic skin response, devices to measure volumetric sweat flow rate, and devices that combine the three functions. The disclosure further includes methods for using a device configured to perform periodic sweat conductivity measurements, galvanic skin response measurements, and volumetric sweat rate measurements so that each sensor modality informs composite estimates of sweat onset, sweat cessation, sweat ion concentration, and sweat rate. The method uses those measurements to inform other sweat sensing device functions, such as determining the existence of a physiological condition, or performing measurements of concentrations, ratios, and trends of sweat analytes.

  • Publication number: 20190254641
    Abstract: The disclosed invention provides a biofluid sensing device configured with a membrane-enhanced sensor located in a sweat collector. The disclosed analyte-specific sensor is configured to reduce required biofluid sample volume due to its close proximity to the skin and source of sweat biofluid. The sensor is contained within a pH and salinity-stabilized fluid that, in turn, is contained in a selectively permeable membrane to improve sensor performance in variable biofluids, and to protect the sensor from skin contact. In one embodiment, the biofluid sensing device includes means to protect the self-aligning sensors from abrasion against the skin or device components. Other embodiments of the disclosed invention include a track-etched membrane to provide sensor protection.

  • Publication number: 20190117170
    Abstract: The invention includes sweat sensing devices to measure volumetric sweat rate that use alternating current interrogation of electrodes, and embodiments that have a reusable component and a disposable component. The disclosure further includes a method for detecting an air bubble within a volumetric sweat rate device. The disclosure also includes methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium claims for using a device configured to perform periodic volumetric sweat rate measurements to inform estimates of total body water loss, to aid in the avoidance of heat stress or dehydration, and to facilitate comparison of environmental influences on heat stress or dehydration.

  • Publication number: 20180271416
    Abstract: The disclosed invention incorporates sweat sensing devices into headgear so that accurate biofluid analyte measurements may be made during physical activity. As disclosed herein, a sweat sensing device may be incorporated into an inner surface or support structure of headgear, including hardhats, sports headgear, flight helmets, combat helmets, sweatbands, sports caps, visors, and masks. The device is further configured to recognize and alter operational states when the device is not in adequate skin contact for operation. Some embodiments are fully disposable, and other embodiments include a reusable component that may be integrated into, or attached to, the headgear.

  • Publication number: 20180020967
    Abstract: A wearable sweat sensing device is provided for managing excess sweat flow. The sweat sensing device includes at least one sweat sensor and a sweat path for conveying sweat from a wearer's skin and across the at least one sensor. At least one adaptive sweat flow component is in fluidic communication with the sweat path for removing excess sweat flow from the sweat path. The adaptive sweat flow component can include one or more of an adaptive sweat sample collector, an adaptive sweat sample channel, or an adaptive sweat sample pump. A method of using the disclosed device to remove excess sweat flow from the device's sweat path during periods of high sweat rate is also provided.
