Communications Materials.Until now, researchers and scientists haven’t been able to measure stress in a quantifiable way. However, the wearable sensor developed by engineers at EPFL’s Nanoelectronic Devices Laboratory (Nanolab) and Xsensio will change that.
Patients can wear this device directly on their skin, and it will continually measure cortisol levels detected in their sweat.
Cortisol, the primary stress biomarker, can become hazardous to human health if levels remain high over time.Our adrenal glands produce cortisol, a steroid hormone, from cholesterol.
