A wearable biosensor has been developed that can continuously track cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine levels in sweat and could transform understanding of stress and its impact on the body.

The Stressomic integrates a flexible, microfluidic sensor patch with a multifunctional flexible printed circuit board to capture dynamic fluctuations in the primary stress hormones. The flexible sensor conforms seamlessly to the skin, with continuous wireless data collection accurately measuring levels across diverse real-life scenarios.

The system was able to accurately detect real-time hormone fluctuations in response to physical, emotional and pharmacological stress, and could distinguish between acute and chronic stress.

“Stressomic holds the potential to transform stress assessment, enab
