Sweat patch measures bipolar drug levels to avoid overdose
Ferrari Press Agency
Bipolar 1
Ref 17020
24/07/2025
See Ferrari text
Picture MUST credit: Mohammad Shafiqul Islam, Khan Lab, USC Viterbi School of Engineering
A wearable sensor could vastly improve treatment and drug safety for millions of patients with bipolar disorder simply through sweat levels.
The medication lithium is a highly effective treatment for bipolar disorder.
But too high a dose can be toxic to patients, causing kidney damage, thyroid damage or even death, while too low a dose renders the treatment ineffective.
The dose required varies between individuals based on body weight, diet and other physiological factors.
Lithium levels in the blood need constant monitoring currently done by lab investigations of blood samples
The wearable includes a skin-safe system to induce sweat without requiring physical exertion.
In just minutes, the device collects data, which is transmitted directly to a smartphone app, allowing patients to track their lithium levels from the comfort of their own homes.
It uses organic electrochemical transistors which are electronic devices that respond to atoms or molecules in liquid, converting them into readable electronic data.
A team at the USA’s University of Southern California created one of these devices using a novel material formulation tailored to detect lithium specifically.

Battle lines redrawn as Argentina's lithium mines ramp up to meet electric car demand.
Mining companies accused of colonial 'divide and rule' tactics in their pursuit of the precious metal that lies under the countryÕs salt flats.
The Salinas Grandes is the largest salt flat in Argentina, a biodiverse ecosystem stretching 200 miles and sitting within the lithium triangle along with parts of Chile and Bolivia.
Lithium, a silvery metal known as white gold, is an essential component of mobile phone and electric car batteries; its global demand is predicted to rise more than fortyfold by 2040. But its exploitation has also fuelled a moral debate, one that pits the green energy transition against the rights of local and Indigenous peoples.

The east German town at the centre of the new 'gold rush' ... for lithium
Refining the metal - which is essential for electric car batteries - in Europe would ease the EU’s precarious reliance on China.
It has been called the new gold rush - a rush to catch up with China in producing and refining the materials needed in everything from computers to cars: but has it come too late to save Europe’s car industry?
Deep inside a former East German town lie the first fruits of the EU’s grand plan to "de-risk" and wean itself off dependency on imports for the green revolution. In Bitterfeld-Wolfen, 140km south-west of Berlin, an Amsterdam-listed company is scrambling to complete construction of a vast factory that will be the first in Europe to deliver battery-grade lithium.
"Everybody wants to get access to lithium. This is maybe why they call it the white gold, because it is like a gold rush," says Stefan Scherer, chief executive of AMG Lithium.

'The part of Cornwall nobody ever sees': the hi-tech future for lithium and tin mining
In the second part of our Electric dreams series looking at the UK's automotive battery industry, we visit an area whose industrial past is being revitalised.
An overgrown quarry in a quiet part of Cornwall is a good place to contemplate Britain's industrial past. It is here that miners used steam power, explosives and their own hands to dig out china clay for ceramics. The industry helped to fuel the Industrial Revolution and briefly made Redruth one of the richest places in the UK.
The quarry is also a pretty good place to contemplate Britain's industrial future. Cornish Lithium, a UK startup, is one of a clutch of businesses hoping to revive British mining amid a global scramble for the battery minerals that are crucial for the transition away from fossil fuels.
The shift to electric cars is upending the automotive industry. It has also set off a scramble for the minerals that will be used in every vehicle.

'The part of Cornwall nobody ever sees': the hi-tech future for lithium and tin mining
In the second part of our Electric dreams series looking at the UK's automotive battery industry, we visit an area whose industrial past is being revitalised.
An overgrown quarry in a quiet part of Cornwall is a good place to contemplate Britain's industrial past. It is here that miners used steam power, explosives and their own hands to dig out china clay for ceramics. The industry helped to fuel the Industrial Revolution and briefly made Redruth one of the richest places in the UK.
The quarry is also a pretty good place to contemplate Britain's industrial future. Cornish Lithium, a UK startup, is one of a clutch of businesses hoping to revive British mining amid a global scramble for the battery minerals that are crucial for the transition away from fossil fuels.
The shift to electric cars is upending the automotive industry. It has also set off a scramble for the minerals that will be used in every vehicle.
South Croft Tin Mine, Pool, Cornwall.
