Graphene-based patch will analyze sweat

A U.S-based startup called GraphWear is developing a graphene-based patch that can analyze sweat and communicate its findings via mobile app. It points out important physical information, like when there is a need to drink water in order to prevent a muscle cramp, glucose levels and more. The company is currently focusing on athletes as a target customer but hopes to develop healthcare applications further down the line.

The startup is currently part of the Science Center’s Digital Health Accelerator (DHA), and GraphWear received $50,000 from the DHA, as well as $50,000 from Dreamit Health, in exchange for 8% equity.
