Health-Check-Up Through Sweat Monitoring Wearable Device

Wearable Medical Device 
Cincinnati-based startup Eccrine System has developed a health wearable medical device products called Sweatronics which tracks your health using sweat. Other bodily fluids like urine and blood contain plenty of the body information’s but are not as easy to collect. However, Sweatronics needs only sweat samples that is produces automatically while working or even sleeping.
The device is to be worn around the wrist, which consists of a sweat collection unit, sensor, and electronics that make contact with skin and uses electrochemical aptamer technology which helps DNA binding to select biomarkers to scale the target of choice, the data can be sent via wireless connection to a smartphone. This device was first introduced to the US air force as a project program.
A recent study showed that individuals could be differentiated from one another due to the unique metabolites in their sweat; each person’s sweat composition profile is unique. The new finding opens up new chances for health monitoring apps.
“The device is constructed in such a way that it not only effectively collects small amounts of fluid, but also isolate the fluids so foreign objects do not affect the sensors”, explained CEO of Eccrine Systems Dr. Gavi Begtrup. Also, the fluids continuously move through the sensors to reflect the body’s current state and do not pool and intermix with old sweat.
Dr. Begtrup said his company plans to use the application on industrial labor. These jobs often involve hours of standing and heavy lifting, and high stress. The use of Sweatronics will help ensure that workers aren’t dehydrated and are safe at work. As the technology gets clinical validation and the FDA’s approval, the company will be looking into several potential medical applications, said Dr. Begtrup.

The future of lung function tests for COPD

With the global increase of  lung diseases  such as asthma, severe bronchitis and emphysema,  lung function tests  are becoming a bigger concern for many people. Spirometry  (measuring lung function) is the most well know  pulmonary function test  and vital to diagnose  COPD . Some of the diseases which can be detected are: 1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – main term used to describe lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis etc. 2. Asthma – common and long-term lung disease characterised by coughing, shortness of breath or wheezing. 3. Chronic bronchitis – bronchial tubes become inflamed and produce an excessive amount of mucus. 4. Emphysema – long-term progressive disease where alveoli in the lungs become inflamed causing shortness of breath. 5. Cystic fibrosis – genetic lung disease characterised by frequent lung infections and coughing up mucus as a result of this. 6. Pulmonary fibrosis - interstitial lungdiseases resulting in the

Valerie Stull, a doctoral graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies published the results of her study on the benefits of consuming crickets on gut bacteria in the journal  Scientific Reports.  It is not only safe at high doses but may also reduce inflammation in the body Valerie Stull said that she was 12 when she ate her first insect. She said,  “I was on a trip with my parents in Central America and we were served fried ants; I remember being so grossed out initially, but when I put the ant in my mouth, I was really surprised because it tasted like food — and it was good!” Stull further added,  “There is a lot of interest right now in edible insects; It’s gaining traction in Europe and in the U.S. as a sustainable, environmentally friendly protein source compared to traditional livestock.” Tiffany Weir, the co-corresponding author and a professor of food science and human nutrition at Colorado State University said,  “Thi

Press Conference for Ddu Credit Verification Launch

According to official Ddu news, the leading global pharmaceutical and medical device B2B online platform and SGS-CSTC (Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd.) will be calling a press conference in Shenzhen, China, on August 18, 2017 to launch their strategic partnership on credit verification and kick off the Ddu Credit Verification Service officially. In recent years, the cross-border medical trade in China has seen rapid development, however due to certain factors such as lack of integrity, time lags and remote regions, it has been difficult for buyers and suppliers to determine the quality of the trade which could lead to contract fraud, counterfeit and inferior goods as well as payment delinquencies and false transaction. To tackle these problems, a signing ceremony for strategic cooperation on credit verification will be held by Ddu and SGS-CSTC to officially launch the project. Yuan Shimin, CEO of Ddu, together with high priority members across the country, will gather to
