Summary

This study tested a new wearable patch that collects sweat to measure sodium and creatinine levels, which are important for monitoring kidney health and dehydration. Five adults with kidney disease wore the patch while their sweat was analyzed using a special light-based technique. The goal was to see if this non-invasive method could provide real-time health data without the need for blood draws.
