About this deal

Barnes, K. A. et al. Normative data for sweating rate, sweat sodium concentration, and sweat sodium loss in athletes: an update and analysis by sport. J. Sports Sci. 37, 2356–2366 (2019).

In practical terms, this meant something that could take sweat samples, ideally with no effort from the athlete, then talk to the cloud about what it found. The lighter the better; the simpler the better. A wearable device was one candidate, but what about something thin and flexible, like a patch or Band-Aid? A company called Epicore Biosystems was doing fascinating things with “skin-like wearable microfluidic solutions that are capable of non-invasively measuring sweat biomarkers, skin health, and physiology, in-real time.” GSSI partnered with them on the project. This was the first time the system was used unsupervised, and it worked beautifully. Applying the patch and getting the photo it turned out to be no issue at all — people thought it looked great, and snapping a photo made a nice mid- or post-workout ritual. The pilot also showed that the best readings came 30–45 minutes into an activity, which informed another round of refinement for the app and the patch. The results are in So the pilot was designed to take as many readings as possible, and photograph each patch not once, but twice: first with an iOS application that had the sole purpose of image capture and data collection, then again using a DSLR camera. The resulting database of hi-res photos, smartphone photos, algorithm outputs, and direct sweat testing created the foundation that the rest of the project would stand on. This is a bummer considering the days I’m most interested in my hydration levels are when the temperature is well over 100 degrees (a disenchanting truth of living in Southern California). Plus, for anyone who enjoys long hikes, trail running, or a long weekend road ride you can count the Gx Sweat Patch out if your excursions run over two hours. Polyák, É., Gombos, K., Hajnal, B., Bonyár-Müller, K., Szabó, S., Gubicskó-Kisbenedek, A., ... Ember, I. (2010, September 8). Effects of artificial sweeteners on body weight, food and drink intake. Acta Physiologica Hungarica, 97(4), 401–407At present, the Gx app seems to offer little in the way of concrete recommendations for how to take the sweat and sodium readings and turn them into a meaningful hydration strategy for a specific sport.

One study published in 2010 suggests that artificial sweeteners may increase weight when consumed regularly. Based on the (admittedly small) dataset so far, it seems that the Gx Sweat Patch is doing a solid job of giving 'ballpark' estimates of your sweat sodium concentration - and in many cases a ballpark figure is all that is needed to inform sodium intake strategies for an athlete to try in training or competition. This product is definitely one of them, a scam, er, a marketing hook. However, Americans definitely don't drink enough water. They drink liters of soda, juices, coffee, boba tea, what have you per day. Definitely enough fluids in that melange of sugar, sugar substitutes, fructose, etc, but it's definitely the wrong way to be hydrated. After going through the above steps, test to see if you have been able to fix the leak properly. You can carry out the test by simply filling the bottle, closing the lid and gently squeezing it.However, polyglycols and Esters generally do not work well with plastic in terms of compatibility.

Baker, L. B. et al. Sweating rate and sweat chloride concentration of elite male basketball players measured with a wearable microfluidic device versus the standard absorbent patch method. Int. J. Sport Nutr. Exerc. Metab. 27, 342–349 (2022). You may experience leaks when using these bottles due to several factors. It could be leaking if the lid is not properly closed. Step one of the entire project was testing the sweat of each of the Brazil National team’s 23 players. It confirmed each athlete’s sweat rate and composition was different and set the ball rolling. During app onboarding, high school athletes skipped past text heavy information screens that explained daily and practice modes. Enabling users to select personal color-coded lights for each mode, made onboarding more engaging and easily remembered.

It's a bit premature to dissect the limited dataset we have in detail just yet but here are some early observations. The sweat sodium data (i.e. how salty your sweat is)But it is worth flagging that the ranges presented for the Gx patch do represent the mid-points of the actual ranges the app has suggested for each of the athletes. The Gx Sweat Patch adheres to the forearm. It passively measures an athlete’s sweat rate and electrolyte composition and can be scanned with a companion smartphone app. The platform uses the biometric data gathered from the Sweat Patch to generate individual hydration recommendations to optimize performance based on weather, intensity, and activity duration. The product was showcased at TED 2019 and will be piloted this year with professional teams and consumer athletes. The Gx Sweat Patch and app From Sports Drinks to Sports Monitoring The level of detail and explanation had to change, though. Those milliliter-specific recommendations that professional teams love are overkill for most amateurs, so the new Gx app did things a little differently, giving enough detail to be useful, but not so much it became inaccessible.
