8:00 AM - 8:25 AM

Maintaining proper hydration is paramount for maximizing performance and minimizing health risks for laborers, warfighters, and athletes. In this talk, we will present our approach towards developing a fully wearable system composed of bio-impedance and sweat sensors for dynamic and non-invasive assessment of hydration. The presentation will highlight our progress towards development of a fully integrated wireless wearable and flexible sweat sensing device for non-obtrusive and continuous monitoring of electrolytes during moderate and intense exertion.
