Wearable hydration sensor

Dehydration 1
Ref 16998

See Ferrari text
Picture MUST credit: University of Texas at Austin
A new non-invasive, wearable sensor designed to measure a user's hydration levels continuously, in real time is being developed by researchers.
They say such a device could help a football player stay hydrated on a hot afternoon, keep a firefighter battling a blaze from getting too dried out, or just let an office worker know when it's time to make a trip to fill their water bottle.
Hydration is essential for human health. It plays a critical role in maintaining organ function, regulating body temperature, and supporting vital physiological processes.
It uses a technique that measures how electrical signals pass through the body, to track hydration levels known as bioimpedance,
It uses strategically placed electrodes, the sensor sends a small, safe electrical current through the arm.
How the electrical current flows through the body depends on the amount of water in the tissues.
Water is a good conductor of electricity, so hydrated tissues allow the current to pass more easily, while dehydrated tissues resist the flow.
Data collected by the sensor is wirelessly transmitted to a smartphone, allowing users to monitor their hydration levels.
US researchers at the University of Texas at Austin conducted several experiments to test the device, including a diuretic-induced dehydration study and a 24-hour free-living trial.

e-tattoo to monitor brain stress

e-tattoo 1

Picture MUST credit: Huh et al. /University of Texas at Austin
A temporary high tech face tattoo that can track when the brain is working too hard has been developed by scientists.
The technology may help track the mental workload of workers like air traffic controllers and truck drivers, whose lapses in focus can have serious consequences.
The e-tattoo decodes brainwaves to measure mental strain without bulky headgear.
The team behind the device said humans perform best in a cognitive zone when they are neither overwhelmed or bored.
Finding that balance is key to optimal performance.
The e-tattoo does this by analysing electrical activity from the brain known as as EEG as well as eye movement,
Currently EEG measurement is done using caps that are bulky with dangling wires.
Instead the wireless e-tattoo consists of a lightweight battery pack and paper-thin, sticker-like sensors.
The sensors are made into wavy loops and coils, a design that allows them to stretch and conform seamlessly to the skin for comfort and clear signals.
The US researchers from the University of Texas at Austin tested the e-tattoo on six volunteers who completed a memory challenge that increased in difficulty.
Participants' brains slowed as cognitive demand increased, and mental fatigue grew.

Des scientifiques inventent une encre permettant de mesurer l’activité cérébrale
Picture MUST credit: Nanshu Lu / University of Texas at Austin A liquid ink that doctors can print onto a patient’s scalp to measure brain activity has been invented by scientists, The technology is said to offer a promising alternative to the cumbersome process currently used for monitoring brainwaves and diagnosing neurological conditions. It also has the potential to enhance certain forms of brain-computer interface applications. Currently many neurological conditions such as seizures, brain tumours, epilepsy, and brain injuries, are diagnosed using electroencephalography known as an EEG To do it, technicians measure the patient’s scalp with rulers and pencils, marking over a dozen spots where they will glue on electrodes, which are connected to a data-collection machine via long wires to monitor the patient’s brain activity. This setup is time consuming and cumbersome, and it can be uncomfortable for many patients, who must sit through the EEG test for hours. One of the US team, Nanshu Lu , from the University of Texas at Austin has been pioneering the development of small sensors that track bodily signals from the surface of human skin, a technology known as e-tattoos.

A mysterious fossil found in Antarctica that looked like a deflated football has finally been identified – as the egg of a gaint marine reptile.The fossil was discovered in 2011 by Chilean scientists but for nearly a decade, the specimen sat unlabeled and unstudied in the collections of Chile’s National Museum of Natural History.It was identified only by its sci-fi movie-inspired nickname -- “The Thing.” An analysis led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin in the USA has found that the fossil is a giant, soft-shell egg from about 66 million years ago. Measuring at around 30 cms by 18 cms, the egg is the largest soft-shell egg ever discovered and the second-largest egg of any known animal.The specimen is the first fossil egg found in Antarctica and pushes the limits of how big scientists thought soft-shell eggs could grow. Aside from its astounding size, the fossil is significant because scientists think it was laid by an extinct, giant marine reptile, such as a mosasaur — a discovery that challenges the prevailing thought that such creatures did not lay eggs.Lead study author Lucas Legendre, a postdoctoral researcher at the university’s Jackson School of Geosciences , said: “It is from an animal the size of a large dinosaur, but it is completely unlike a dinosaur egg “It is most similar to the eggs of lizards and snakes, but it is from a truly giant relative of these animals.”
