    Integrated Sensors Features

    SKIN TEMPERATURE

    Skin temperature sensors monitor peripheral blood flow and thermoregulation, aiding in detecting infections or inflammation. Wearable systems ensure continuous data for personalized health management.

    SKIN MOISTURE

    Skin moisture sensors measure hydration to manage skin health, prevent ulcers, and support wound care. Integrated into wearables, they enable real-time monitoring and enhanced patient comfort.

    potential Hydrogene

    pH sensors are essential for assessing acidity or alkalinity in bodily fluids, aiding in diagnosing and managing conditions like acidosis or infections. Their precision ensures effective care in critical medical interventions and diagnostics.

    Glucose

    Glucose sensors provide real-time blood sugar monitoring, essential for diabetes and valuable for pre-diabetes management to reduce or ultimately avoid complications. Wearable technologies allows proactive adjustments to ensure optimal health.

    Sodium

    Sodium sensors monitor electrolyte levels to detect and manage imbalances affecting patients' conditions for dehydration, or even cardiovascular and neurological systems.

    Biomarkers

    Biomarker sensors detect substances like lactate, creatinine, and cortisol, offering insights into metabolic, renal, and stress conditions. They support personalised healthcare through rapid and minimally invasive testing.
