Real-Time Hydration Biomarker Monitoring via Optical Sensor Microneedle Arrays
Dehydration poses significant risks to operators, impacting cognitive and physical performance. We developed a wearable monitor using microneedle optical sensing, tracking hydration biomarkers in interstitial fluid. Validation studies showed strong correlations with urine specific gravity, highlighting its potential to mitigate dehydration risks.
