Your sweat could hold secrets about your health, researchers say — here’s how

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed an electronic finger wrap that monitors important chemical levels using only human sweat. Here's how it works.

The wearable innovation is said to be as easy as wearing an adhesive bandage. "Fingertips are among the body’s most prolific sweat producers, each packed with over 1,000 sweat glands." "Autonomous power, sensing and treatment all in one device — that’s the ultimate goal." Erica Lamberg is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.

The research was published on Sept. 3 in the journal Nature Electronics.
