  • Device for determining fat expenditure from levels of ketone bodies that have passed through the skin and methods for determining the same
    Patent number: 10709381
    Abstract: A wearable sensing device having a first and second opening, a first semipermeable membrane having a first surface and a second surface, and a second semipermeable membrane having a third and fourth surface, a ketone body sensor, and a void. The first opening is juxtaposed to the first surface and the second opening is juxtaposed to the third surface. The space between the first and second openings is the void and wherein the ketone body sensor is positioned within the void. Gasses may permeate through the first opening and into the void to contact the sensor and exit the void through the second opening. The sensor may be in direct skin contact with vapor dissipation being enabled through ventilation. Ventilation will be facilitated by microgrooves on the sensor surface or through vent openings in the encasement.
