This study is the first report demonstrating proof-of-concept for a hydrogel-based touch sensor pad used for the non-invasive extraction and detection of sweat components. The sensor device was composed of an electrochemical L-lactate biosensor covered with an agarose gel in a phosphate buffer saline. When human skin contacts the agarose gel, L-lactate in sweat was continuously extracted into the gel, followed by in-situ potentiometric detection without controlled conditions.

Project description:Wearable sweat biosensors for noninvasive monitoring of health parameters have attracted significant attention. Having these biosensors embedded in textile substrates can provide a convenient experience due to their soft and flexible nature that conforms to the skin, creating good contact for long-term use. These biosensors can be easily integrated with everyday clothing by using textile fabrication processes to enhance affordable and scalable manufacturing. Herein, a flexible electrochemical glucose sensor that can be screen-printed onto a textile substrate has been demonstrated. The screen-printed textile-based glucose biosensor achieved a linear response in the range of 20-1000 µM of glucose concentration and high sensitivity (18.41 µA mM-1 cm-2, R2 = 0.996). In addition, the biosensors show high selectivity toward glucose among other interfering analytes and excellent stability over 30 days of storage. The developed textile-based biosensor can serve as a platform for monitoring bio analytes in sweat, and it is expected to impact the next generation of wearable devices.

Project description:Wireless devices have become extremely inexpensive and popular in recent years. The two most significant advantages of wireless devices over wired ones are convenience and flexibility. Considering this, a wireless mouse pad prototype for access has been developed in this study. A capacitive sensors-based mouse pad with basic operations and conventional features has been developed using sensing arrays on paper. A facile, do-it-yourself fabrication process was utilized to develop a cost-effective, thin, wearable, and cleanroom-free wireless mouse cursor control (MCC) pad. The ablation process was used to cut the traces of conductive tape and paste them onto the paper to develop the MCC pad. The pad was connected with Espressif Systems (ESP)32 to wirelessly control the cursor of mobile and laptop. The capacitive touch sensor array-based pad is easy to reproduce and recycle. This pad can contribute to future advancements in thin human-machine interfaces, soft robotics, and medical and healthcare applications.

Project description:Versatile sensing matrixes are essential for the development of enzyme-immobilized optical biosensors. A novel three-dimensional titanium dioxide nanotubes/alginate hydrogel scaffold is proposed for the detection of sweat biomarkers, lactate, and glucose in artificial sweat. Hydrothermally synthesized titanium dioxide nanotubes were introduced to the alginate polymeric matrix, followed by cross-linking nanocomposite with dicationic calcium ions to fabricate the scaffold platform. Rapid colorimetric detection (blue color optical signal) was carried out for both lactate and glucose biomarkers in artificial sweat at 4 and 6 min, respectively. The superhydrophilicity and the capillarity of the synthesized titanium dioxide nanotubes, when incorporated into the alginate matrix, facilitate the rapid transfer of the artificial sweat components throughout the sensor scaffold, decreasing the detection times. Moreover, the scaffold was integrated on a cellulose paper to demonstrate the adaptability of the material to other matrixes, obtaining fast and homogeneous colorimetric detection of lactate and glucose in the paper substrate when image analysis was performed. The properties of this new composite provide new avenues in the development of paper-based sensor devices. The biocompatibility, the efficient immobilization of biological enzymes/colorimetric assays, and the quick optical signal readout behavior of the titanium dioxide nanotubes/alginate hydrogel scaffolds provide a prospective opportunity for integration into wearable devices.

Project description:We aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of sweat lactate threshold (sLT) measurement based on the real-time monitoring of the transition in sweat lactate levels (sLA) under hypoxic exercise. In this cross-sectional study, 20 healthy participants who underwent exercise tests using respiratory gas analysis under hypoxia (fraction of inspired oxygen [FiO2], 15.4 ± 0.8%) in addition to normoxia (FiO2, 20.9%) were included; we simultaneously monitored sLA transition using a wearable lactate sensor. The initial significant elevation in sLA over the baseline was defined as sLT. Under hypoxia, real-time dynamic changes in sLA were successfully visualized, including a rapid, continual rise until volitionary exhaustion and a progressive reduction in the recovery phase. High intra- and inter-evaluator reliability was demonstrated for sLT's repeat determinations (0.782 [0.607-0.898] and 0.933 [0.841-0.973]) as intraclass correlation coefficients [95% confidence interval]. sLT correlated with ventilatory threshold (VT) (r = 0.70, p < 0.01). A strong agreement was found in the Bland-Altman plot (mean difference/mean average time: - 15.5/550.8 s) under hypoxia. Our wearable device enabled continuous and real-time lactate assessment in sweat under hypoxic conditions in healthy participants with high reliability and validity, providing additional information to detect anaerobic thresholds in hypoxic conditions.

Project description:Wearable lactate sensors for sweat analysis are highly appealing for both the sports and healthcare fields. Electrochemical biosensing is the approach most widely used for lactate determination, and this technology generally demonstrates a linear range of response far below the expected lactate levels in sweat together with a high influence of pH and temperature. In this work, we present a novel analytical strategy based on the restriction of the lactate flux that reaches the enzyme lactate oxidase, which is immobilized in the biosensor core. This is accomplished by means of an outer plasticized polymeric layer containing the quaternary salt tetradodecylammonium tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl) borate (traditionally known as ETH500). Also, this layer prevents the enzyme from being in direct contact with the sample, and hence, any influence with the pH and temperature is dramatically reduced. An expanded limit of detection in the millimolar range (from 1 to 50 mM) is demonstrated with this new biosensor, in addition to an acceptable response time; appropriate repeatability, reproducibility, and reversibility (variations lower than 5% for the sensitivity); good resiliency; excellent selectivity; low drift; negligible influence of the flow rate; and extraordinary correlation (Pearson coefficient of 0.97) with a standardized method for lactate detection such as ion chromatography (through analysis of 22 sweat samples collected from 6 different subjects performing cycling or running). The developed lactate biosensor is suitable for on-body sweat lactate monitoring via a microfluidic epidermal patch additionally containing pH and temperature sensors. This applicability was demonstrated in three different body locations (forehead, thigh, and back) in a total of five on-body tests while cycling, achieving appropriate performance and validation. Moreover, the epidermal patch for lactate sensing is convenient for the analysis of sweat stimulated by iontophoresis in the subjects' arm, which is of great potential toward healthcare applications.

Project description:Precision analysis of the key biological metabolites such as L-lactate has great practical importance for many technological processes in food technology, including beverage production. Here we describe a new, highly selective, and sensitive biosensor for accurate L-lactate assay based on a combination of peroxidase-mimetic nanozymes with microbial lactate oxidase (LOx) immobilized onto the surface of a graphite-rod electrode (GE). The peroxidase-like nanozymes were synthesized using the debris of carbon microfibers (CFs) functionalized with hemin (H) and modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) or platinum microparticles (PtMPs). The nanozyme formed with PtMPs as well as corresponding bioelectrodes based on it (LOx-CF-H-PtMPs/GE) is characterized by preferable catalytic and operational characteristics, so it was selected for the analysis of L-lactate content in real samples of grape must and red wine. The results of the L-lactate analysis obtained by the developed biosensors are highly correlated with a very selective spectrophotometric approach used as a reference. The developed biosensor, due to its high selectivity and sensitivity, is very prospective not only for the beverage industry and food technology, but also for clinical diagnostics and medicine, as well as in other applications where the accurate analysis of L-lactate is highly important.

Project description:Wearable sweat sensors are a rapidly rising research area owing to their convenience for personal healthcare and disease diagnosis in a real-time and noninvasive manner. However, the fast and scalable fabrication of flexible electrodes remains a major challenge. Here, we develop a wearable epidermal sensor for multiplexed sweat analysis based on the laser-induced graphene (LIG) technique. This simple and mask-free technique allows the direct manufacturing of graphene electrode patterns on commercial polyimide foils. The resulting LIG devices can simultaneously monitor the pH, Na+, and K+ levels in sweat with the sensitivities of 51.5 mV/decade (pH), 45.4 mV/decade (Na+), and 43.3 mV/decade (K+), respectively. Good reproducibility, stability, and selectivity are also observed. On-body testing of the LIG-based sensor integrated with a flexible printed circuit board during stationary cycling demonstrates its capability for real-time sweat analysis. The concentrations of ions can be remotely and wirelessly transmitted to a custom-developed smartphone application during the period in which the sensor user performs physical activities. Owing to the unique advantages of LIG technique, including facile fabrication, mass production, and versatile, more physiological signals (glucose, uric acid, tyrosine, etc.) could be easily expanded into the LIG-based wearable sensors to reflect the health status or clinical needs of individuals.

Project description:We hypothesized that blood lactate concentration([Lac]blood) is a function of cardiopulmonary variables, exercise intensity and some anthropometric elements during aerobic exercise. This investigation aimed to establish a mathematical model to estimate [Lac]blood noninvasively during constant work rate (CWR) exercise of various intensities. 31 healthy participants were recruited and each underwent 4 cardiopulmonary exercise tests: one incremental and three CWR tests (low: 35% of peak work rate for 15?min, moderate: 60% 10?min and high: 90% 4?min). At the end of each CWR test, venous blood was sampled to determine [Lac]blood. 31 trios of CWR tests were employed to construct the mathematical model, which utilized exponential regression combined with Taylor expansion. Good fitting was achieved when the conditions of low and moderate intensity were put in one model; high-intensity in another. Standard deviation of fitting error in the former condition is 0.52; in the latter is 1.82?mmol/liter. Weighting analysis demonstrated that, besides heart rate, respiratory variables are required in the estimation of [Lac]blood in the model of low/moderate intensity. In conclusion, by measuring noninvasive cardio-respiratory parameters, [Lac]blood during CWR exercise can be determined with good accuracy. This should have application in endurance training and future exercise industry.

Project description:Increased development of wearable sensors for physiological monitoring has spurred complementary interest in the detection of biochemical indicators of health and performance. We report a wearable sensor system for non-invasive detection of excreted human biomarkers in sweat. The system consists of a thin, flexible, kapton patch (2.5 × 7.5 cm) that can be coated with adhesive and affixed to the skin. The system can be controlled by a cell phone via a near-field communications protocol, charged wirelessly, and the data can be downloaded and displayed in a smart phone app. The system is designed such that the sensing element plugs into a low-profile socket, and can easily be removed and replaced as needed due to saturation or aging effects. As a demonstration case, we examined using an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) within this system to monitor lactate concentration. Several different methods for optimizing the sensor performance were compared, including altering electrode materials, employing various immobilization techniques, and tailoring operating voltages. Resulting functional response of the lactate oxidase enzyme was compared as a function of the sensor variables. The OECT sensor was shown to have high sensitivity to lactate, however the sensing range is limited to lactate concentrations below approximately 1 mM.

Project description:In emergency medicine, the lactate level is commonly used as an indicator of the severity and response to the treatment of hypoperfusion-related diseases. Clinical lactate measurements generally require 3 h for clinical determination. To improve the current gold standard methods, the development of sensor devices that can reduce detection time while maintaining sensitivity and providing portability is gaining great attention. This study aimed to develop a polyaniline (PAni)-based single-sensor platform for sensing lactate in human sweat using a CIELAB color system-based colorimetric device. To establish a lactate sensing platform, PAni nanoparticles were synthesized and adsorbed on the filter paper surface using solvent shift and dip-coating methods, respectively. PAni is characterized by a chemical change accompanied by a color change according to the surrounding environment. To quantify the color change of PAni, a CIELAB color system-based colorimetric device was fabricated. The color change of PAni was measured according to the chemical state using a combination of a PAni-based filter paper sensor platform and a colorimetric device, based on the lactate concentration in deionized water. Finally, human sweat was spiked with lactate to measure the color change of the PAni-based filter paper sensor platform. Under these conditions, the combination of polyaniline-based sensor platforms and colorimetric systems has a limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 1 mM, linearity of 0.9684, and stability of 14%. Tbe confirmed that the color of the substrate changes after about 30 s, and through this, the physical fatigue of the individual can be determined. In conclusion, it was confirmed through this study that a combination of the PAni paper sensor platform and colorimeter can detect clinically meaningful lactate concentration.
