Abstract
A microfluidic sweat collecting and sensing system is provided. The system has a bottom layer close to a skin of a wearer, a top layer remote from the skin, and a separation layer between the bottom and top layers. The separation layer is made of a hot-melt material. The top layer, the bottom layer and the separation layer are bonded together by hot pressing, so that a gap is formed between the top layer and the bottom layer. The top and bottom layers are provided with water channels respectively. Fabrics forming the bottom and top layers are hydrophilic in parts corresponding to the water channels and hydrophobic in remaining parts.
Claims12
A microfluidic sweat collecting and sensing system, the system comprising:
- a bottom layer arranged to be positioned on a skin of a wearer;
- a top layer;
- and
- a separation layer located between the bottom layer and the top layer;
- wherein the separation layer is made of a hot-melt material;
- wherein the top layer, the bottom layer and the separation layer are bonded together by hot pressing, so that a gap is formed between the top layer and the bottom layer as a sweat collection flow channel;
- and
- wherein each of the top and bottom layers is formed with a plurality of water channels.
