Abstract

A sweat sensing device includes a flexible body having a first, outwardly facing surface and a second, skin facing surface and a sweat channel formed in the body, the sweat channel having a first end defining a fluid inlet and a second end. A biochemical assay well formed in the sweat channel and an assay material is disposed in the biochemical assay well, the assay material positioned to react with sweat traveling through the sweat channel and to provide one of a visual indicator and an indicator detectable by a camera and connected processor of the flow of the sweat in the sweat channel.
