Researchers develop smart ring that reads health markers from sweat
A team says a new ring can measure several biochemical signals from perspiration on a finger, including glucose, vitamin C and alcohol.
Researchers have unveiled a smart ring that they say can track health-related chemicals in sweat from a finger, offering a new way to monitor the body without a blood test. The device is described as the first of its kind to measure several biochemical markers.
According to CNET, the ring is designed to detect levels of glucose, vitamin C and alcohol. The report says the team believes the wearable could open up a broader use for rings in health monitoring.
The development adds to a growing market for wearable devices that collect personal health data. It also reflects continued interest in non-invasive tools that can gather information from sweat rather than more traditional samples.
