WEARABLE SWEAT SENSING DEVICE FOR DETECTION OF IBD BIOMARKERS

Inflammatory Bowel Disease affects 1.2 million in the United States. Flare-up of the disease occurs in a random way and current testing methods lack ability for real-time prediction of a flare up. The levels of cytokines elevate during a flareup. Therefore, we hypothesize that real-time monitoring of cytokine biomarkers can be useful for early detection of flare-ups and provide better patient management. In this context, sweat-based diagnostics can be promising for real-time tracking of IBD biomarkers.
