DESCRIPTION

A new era is beginning where it's possible to precisely assess the body's health status using only sweat instead of blood tests. A KAIST research team has now developed a smart patch that can precisely observe internal changes through sweat when simply attached to the body. This is expected to greatly contribute to the advancement of chronic disease management and personalized health care technologies.
