Engineers and neuroscientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a soft, wearable fingertip patch that continuously tracks a patient's Parkinson's disease medication levels through sweat. The device operates using chemicals in the patient's sweat—no batteries required. Its measurements were comparable to those obtained by standard laboratory blood tests.
