A recent SciTechDaily article discussed a new wearable capable of simultaneously monitoring a variety of health states including glucose, alcohol, and lactate. Developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego, the prototype is roughly the size of six quarters stacked on top of each other. It attaches to the skin of the arm like Velcro via a grid of microneedles. It doesn’t cause the wearer any pay, and only penetrates the epidermis deep enough to sense biomolecules in interstitial fluid.
