  • Abstract
    This work presents a wearable sensing system, aimed to monitor sweat pH and skin temperature in a noninvasive way. The wireless interface and the body coupling via a smart textile make it particularly comfortable and unobtrusive for the wearer; the applications extend from high risks patients hydration monitoring in a home-care environment, to fitness and wellness applications.
