Wearable electrochemical sensors


Wearable electrochemical technology can monitor physiological parameters for its use as non-invasive diagnostics, therapeutic drug monitoring, and sports performance control. We explore, develop and test wearable electrochemical devices that can gather real-time (bio)chemical information from our bodies for key decision-making processes in human and plant health, wellbeing, and environmental applications.
