Title Digitalising a colorimetric biosensor
Summary Current wearable sensors are mostly on biophysical markers with very few on biochemical markers. Biochemical
markers provide important information on human body health conditions. All current biochemical sensors are
invasive, painful and inconvenient to operate. IMRE has developed a proof-of-concept (POC) technology for
detecting sweat-based biochemicals such as glucose and lactate that are non-invasive, painless and convenient
by using the colorimetric approach. Through photoconductivity, biomarker concentration can be quantified in the
form of a direct readout. Data is directly displayed on the printed wearable without the need for interfacing with an
external device or with a complex built-in spectrometer.
