What’s In Your Sweat Why Monitoring Your Sweat Can Improve Your Health

What’s in your sweat, and what can it indicate about your overall health? What if we could use biosensors to track it and improve your overall quality of life? While sweat may not be at the forefront of mainstream science, this type of technology may be more powerful than some may realize…

Today we sit down to discuss all things sweat-related with Dr. Shalini Prasad. Dr. Prasad is a Professor in the Department of Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering graduate program at The University of Texas at Dallas, where she has been since 2011.

In this episode, we talk about:

1) How functional sweat wearables can be used for human physiology and disease tracking.
2) Why monitoring your sweat can help you stay healthy.
3) What makes sweat smell.
4) Where in your body sweat comes from.

With training in electrical engineering, Dr. Prasad has a background in figuring out signals from a vast array of sources – and she applies this knowledge of technology to effectively monitor human sweat. Wondering what her research has uncovered? Click play to find out now!
