Bandage Patch Measures Glucose During Exercise

Researchers from Binghamton University, State University of New York, have
developed a paper-based sensor patch for diabetes care.

This patch will allow patients to have their glucose levels measured during
exercise.

Unlike other devices, this one does not require a finger prick and blood
sample.

Professor Seokheun Choi, an electrical and computer science assistant and his
team developed a different type of product: a self-powered, disposable, and
wearable patch that enables non-invasive monitoring of sweat. The design
includes a vertically stacked, paper-based glucose/oxygen enzymatic fuel cell
integrated into a standard bandage.

The researchers hope that this can lead to more non-invasive monitoring
technology in the future.
