AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY DEMONSTARTING THE MEASUREMENT, CHARACTERIZATION AND VALIDATION OF EXPRESSIONS OF CALPROTECTIN IN HUMAN SWEAT THROUGH A SWEAT WEARABLE

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) comprising Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are typically characterized by chronic episodes of inflammation within and through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In many inflammatory conditions including IBD, Calprotectin (CP) is well-studied (systemic and fecal) and employed by clinicians due to assay stability and low cost to effectively guide diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. While, accessing fecal CP is non-invasive, there is significant resistance to continuous fecal CP testing from patient-use and patient enablement aspects due to the challenges is sample collection, hence there is a current unmet need to access CP in a completely non-invasive manner.
