Electrochemical sensors quantify sodium and potassium in sweat, indicating their health monitoring potential.

The aim is to develop flexible sensors for monitoring sodium and potassium concentrations in sweat to assess health status.
Used flexible screen-printed electrodes modified with selective membranes for Na+ and K+.
Conducted open-circuit potential (OCP)–time measurements for sensitive detection.
Characterized sensors for linear response, stability, and reproducibility in defined concentration ranges.
Na+ sensor showed linear response with sensitivity of 75.4 mV/log10 and detection limit of 0.534 mM.
K+ sensor exhibited sensitivity of 86.3 mV/log10 with detection limit of 0.329 mM.
Tests in diluted sweat confirmed accurate quantification of electrolyte concentrations.

Wang et al. (2026) studied this question.
