New Wearable Devices Powered by Human Sweat
以人體汗液驅動的新型穿戴式裝置
Scientists are developing innovative wearable devices that turn human sweat into electricity.
科學家們正在開發創新的穿戴式裝置，能將人類汗水轉化為電力。
These devices use biofuel cells to convert lactate, a substance found in sweat, into energy.
這些裝置使用生物燃料電池，將汗液中常見的物質「乳酸」轉化為能量。
Because they are self-powered, these sensors can provide continuous health monitoring without needing to be plugged in or charged.
由於具備自體供電能力，這些感測器能提供持續的健康監測，無需插電或充電。
They can track vital data like glucose or cortisol levels in real-time, all without a single needle prick.
它們能即時追蹤血糖或皮質醇等關鍵數據，且完全無須針刺。
Challenges remain, such as ensuring the sensors work accurately despite changes in a person's sweat composition or the surrounding environment.
挑戰依然存在，例如確保感測器在人體汗液成分或周圍環境變化時，仍能準確運作。
From professional athletes tracking fatigue to elderly patients receiving non-invasive monitoring, sweat-powered technology could soon change how we manage our health.
從職業運動員追蹤疲勞程度，到老年病患接受非侵入式監測，汗液動力技術或許很快就能改變我們管理健康的方式。
