Dehydration, even in mild forms, can impair endurance, reduce strength, cause fatigue, and lead to serious health complications if not promptly managed.The higher the sweat rate, the greater the fluid loss, and thus, the higher the hydration needs. Athletes and individuals engaged in prolonged physical activity need to monitor their sweat rate to estimate their fluid replacement needs accurately. This helps in preventing both dehydration and hyponatremia (overhydration).
At Innovosens, we built the Hydrosense Patch with an integrated app to analyze sweat and provide endurance athletes with personal hydration data.
