"Ultimate energy saving" Wearable device using bio-fuel cell-To prevent heat stroke and reduce the burden on nursing care sites-
Lecturer Isao Shitanda of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Science is working on the development of self-driving wearable devices. Powered by a biofuel cell that generates electricity from lactic acid and glucose contained in sweat and urine, a small thin device (sensor) measures the lactic acid and glucose levels in body fluids in real time and transmits the results wirelessly. This device has the role of both a power supply and a sensor, and its practical application can be expected to be used in various situations of life such as nursing care sites as well as measures against heat stroke such as athletes and workers working at construction sites. ..

Nikkei Sangyo Shimbun publishes research results of lecturer Isao Shitanda and others
The Nikkei Sangyo Shimbun introduced a thin sensor developed by Dr. Isao Shitanda and others to detect risks such as heat stroke from sweat.
The article introduces a thin sensor that detects the risk of heat stroke from the salt concentration in sweat.
This sensor is made by printing a special ink that reacts with salt on the surface of the substrate by overlaying it on the substrate, and it is possible to visually grasp the state of salt by graphing it.
In the future, it is stated that they are developing technology that can detect ammonia other than salt.
Please see the publication for details.
