REAL-TIME CONTINUOUS REPORTING OF IBD BIOMARKERS IN SWEAT

Calprotectin and C-reactive protein (CRP) are key biomarkers to assess a flare-up and inflammation in IBD patients. Flare-ups in IBD patients can create excruciating pain, discomfort, and occur in a random way. Therefore, continuous monitoring of these biomarkers in real-time can aid in providing active feedback and decision support on the health state for better IBD patient management. This work demonstrates a novel way of empowering IBD patients with actionable data through capturing temporal profiles of IBD markers (Calprotectin and CRP) from sweat for patient-driven outcomes.
