‘‘Sweat is a very complex sample. It has a lot of proteins, metabolites, electrolytes—all this molecular-level information.’’ according to Professor Emaminejad.

June 15, 2017

The device uses electrodes to help the body generate about 10 microliters of sweat — a few droplets, enough to analyze — in five to 10 minutes, according to Dr. Emaminejad, an assistant professor and researcher at UCLA who worked on the device and co-authored the study with Davis.

June 12, 2017

Professor Emaminejad says that the developed wristband continuously gathers health-related data from sweat for crucial medical information without breaking the skin, and importantly, without requiring a visit to the doctor’s office. 

May 11, 2017

Professor Emaminejad in an interview with UCLA Newsroom explains "Sweat-based monitoring has a huge potential to facilitate non-invasive and continuous monitoring of individuals in a wearable format."

April 24, 2017

The sweat sensor is the first step in what Professor Emaminejad hopes will become an “ecosystem of sensors” monitoring physiological signals in our blood, sweat, and urine. It’s also part of a broader revolution in “bioelectronics” that is helping to achieve faster, more accurate, and more convenient diagnoses.

April 23, 2017

The wristband-style wearable sweat sensor diagnoses diseases by measuring the molecular makeup of sweat such as chloride ions and glucose levels.

A Wrist Sensor That Works Up a Sweat: "You can just wrap it on people’s hands and have them engage in their daily activities and you can continuously monitor them," said Dr. Emaminejad, Electrical Engineering Professor at UCLA.

April 18, 2017

A wearable sensor that extracts sweat and analyzes its constituents could be a useful device for diagnosing and monitoring diseases.

April 17, 2017

“We realized if we wanted to find meaningful information from sweat, we needed to measure a bunch of things at the same time,” says Professor Emaminejad, assistant professor of electrical engineering at UCLA and Former Stanford postdoctoral scholar “The vision is to get as much data as possible.”
