Sweat as a diagnostic biofluid
Skin-interfaced microfluidic systems help assess health status and chemical exposure. Eccrine sweat glands in the skin are key components of an ingenious system for evaporative cooling. Their action is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system in an adaptive, closed-loop manner to help maintain thermal homeostasis during physical or mental exertion or exposure to high temperatures.
