Non-Invasive Physiological Monitoring

PhiloMetron proposes to develop a non-invasive body hydration monitoring system which will provide continuous ambulatory monitoring of the change in a subject's hydration status. The hydration monitoring system will enable the detection of hydration loss (hypohydration) earlier than it can be perceived by the individual, preventing subsequent loss of physical and/or cognitive skills caused by dehydration. The monitoring system will provide accurate and repeatable measurements that will enable detection of very small changes or trends in hydration status in an unencumbered ambulatory environment. The system is comprised of a disposable self applied smart patch that monitors various bioparameters continuously and wirelessly transmits this information to the individual and/or caretaker (clinician).
