spectrum.ieee.org

Adaptyx Biosciences has developed a skin patch for continuous cortisol monitoring, potentially revolutionizing stress hormone tracking like glucose monitors did for blood sugar. The patch uses aptamer-based sensors to measure cortisol in fluid beneath the skin, capturing daily fluctuations. Early tests show promising accuracy compared to blood samples. This technology could aid in managing adrenal disorders and type 2 diabetes, with broader applications for hormone monitoring anticipated in the future.
