Full-Cut Manufacture of Skin-Interfaced Microfluidic Patch with Copper Electrode for In Situ Admittance Sensing of Sweat Rate.

ABSTRACT: Sweat-rate measurement has received more and more attention, especially for specific groups, such as athletes, soldiers and manual workers, due to their excessive sweat loss under prolonged intense heat stress, which increases the risk of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. The highly effective manufacture of a sweat-sensing device is essential to its wide range of applications in perspiration-related physiological information detection. In this work, we propose a simple and cost-effective strategy for the manufacture of a microfluidic sweat-rate-sensing patch via laser cutting and transfer printing technology. A copper foil tape is used as the electrode for in situ admittance based sweat-rate-sensing. The detection circuits and measurement conditions are optimized to prevent the negati
