At its core, perspiring helps to regulate one’s body temperature and is an essential function of a healthy body. Until recently, perspiration analysis was not a regular testing procedure because of the challenges involved with collecting samples. However, the continuous improvement of sensing technologies has now made it a real option.

hDrop is a wearable device able to measure hydration status. hDrop is designed to be worn as a wrist or arm band. The noninvasive device has a set of sensors that reliably relay information gathered from perspiration to be used to better a person’s hydration level.

Engaging in workout, practice, or other forms of exercise requires water intake to avoid fatigue or a serious injury. Knowing and having the right amount of liquids in one’s system will significantly boost performance and lower injury risk. Synchronized with an app, the user will have easy access to the data that is collected.
