Textile-based immunosensors for sweat biomarkers: A case study for measuring cortisol

The portable user friendly devices can help us monitor our health status without any need to refer clinics. This capability is good to timely and efficacious medical interventions. This project aimed at realizing this device by making the key component involved in recognizing the biomarkers. We will synthesize the component at first using available inexpensive materials to reduce the production cost of the device and then will test different physic-chemical and biological factors so as to make sure that the results of the tests by this device are correct and indicator of real health status independent of any external interferences. The device should also be mechanically and chemically stable to be used for a long term usage.
