For patients with hypertension, obesity, and diabetes, daily sodium intake is important, but the American Heart Association study shows that nearly 54% of Americans underestimate their actual sodium intake, in order to To help people better understand the situation, the Georgia Tech team developed a sodium sensing wear device that looks similar to the dental retainers.
The sodium sensor device consists of an ultra-thin breathable elastic film and embedded flexible electronic components. The sensor in the device will detect the sodium content in the wearer's diet or beverage in real time, and the Bluetooth module can send messages. Transfer to an app that has been paired to your phone or tablet within 10 meters.
In addition to the hope that the development team will allow the wearer and doctor to accurately track sodium intake, the development team can also provide the wearer's next dietary recommendations based on the daily intake.
So far, the team has conducted a try-on test on 3 adult subjects, who also maintain a solid and liquid diet (such as vegetable juice, chicken soup or potato chips) during the week of wearing the device, and they are wearing the device. Did not feel uncomfortable.
The team hopes that the technology will be more miniaturized in the future, and ultimately the device will be as small as a tooth, and at the same time let the device get rid of the need to charge every day. They are considering using an inducing coil (inducTIon coil) instead of the battery. The device can be powered wirelessly via an external transmitter.
Team leader Woon-Hong Yeo said that they hope that they can help the demander to monitor the daily sodium intake in real time without feeling, so that patients who need to strictly limit sodium intake gradually learn to change their eating habits.
