Product description
The BioDeviceLab Headband-Integrated Smart Microfluidic Sensing Platform embeds a flexible, transparent microfluidic sensing patch directly into a soft, wearable headband for stable, long-term forehead monitoring. The headband provides gentle compression and consistent skin contact, ensuring reliable biofluid collection while maintaining user comfort during physical activity or extended wear.
An integrated absorbent pad positioned at the skin interface passively wicks sweat into a low-dead-volume microfluidic network. Collected fluid is routed to an on-patch sensing chamber coupled with embedded electronics for signal conditioning, processing, and wireless transmission. The transparent microfluidic layer allows direct visualization of fluid transport while remaining protected within the headband structure.
This platform enables fully untethered, head-mounted biochemical monitoring without adhesives, external tubing, or rigid enclosures, making it ideal for athletic, clinical, and research applications.
