Abstract: Biological chemicals, potentially found in blood are measured by collecting sweat and determining the concentration or meaning of the selected chemical in sweat. The sweat can be collected using a time based, interval collector and analyzed using an external device. It can also be collected on a one time basis, using a flexible, chemical capacitor, or on a continuous basis using a chemical, field effect transducer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting/optimizing physical performance for a future event including selecting performance parameters indicative of performance for the future event, collecting data for the performance parameters and training parameters for past events, comparing the collected data for determining which training parameters are statistically significant to the performance parameters, and providing a training program for manipulating the training parameters to optimize performance for the future event.

Abstract: A wearable sweat sensor device (1) may include a plurality of sensors (150, 160, 170, 180) capable of measuring a plurality of ion-selective biomarker potentials and a mechanism that analyzes a combination of measurements as a proxy for one or more physiological conditions such as muscle activity, exertion, or tissue damage. A device may include a sensor capable of taking at least one skin impedance measurement along with a plurality of sensors (150, 160, 170, 180) and a mechanism that analyzes a combination of measurements as a proxy for one or more physiological conditions, such as hydration or sweat rate. Because several of said sensors (150, 160, 170, 180) may not be stable when stored if fully exposed to air, the device (1) may include a temporary seal (400) for said sensors (150, 160, 170, 180) that is removable prior to placement and use of said sensors (150, 160, 170, 180).

Abstract: A biomarker sensor using short peptide recognition elements. The biomarker sensor includes a substrate and a metallic layer on a surface of that substrate that is localized surface plasmon resonance reactive. A receptor layer on the surface of the metallic layer (the surface opposing the substrate) is configured to selectively bind a biomarker and has a thickness less than about 15 nm.

Abstract: Described herein is a method, system and computer program for analyzing a colorimetric assay that includes obtaining an image of the assay, optionally correcting for ambient lighting conditions in the image, converting the intensity data for at least one of the red channel, the green channel, or the blue channel to a first data point, recalling a predetermined standardized curve, comparing the first data point with the standardized curve, and identifying the value for the assay parameter from the standardized curve.

Abstract: A method of detecting a presence of an analyte in a sample. The method includes selecting an aptamer selective to the analyte and binding the aptamer to a nanoparticle. The nanoparticles having a free state are perceived as a first color and an aggregate state are perceived as a second color. The sample is introduced to the nanoparticle-bound aptamers, and aggregation of the nanoparticles is promoted. A colorimetric change is analyzed, wherein the aggregate state of the nanoparticles is achieved in the presence of the analyte in the sample.
