This research paper presents an innovative, non-invasive approach to monitoring kidney function by analyzing biomarkers present in human sweat. Leveraging cutting-edge wearable sensor technology, the proposed system detects and quantifies critical biomarkers such as urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, and chloride levels. These biomarkers serve as indicators of renal health and allow for real-time, continuous monitoring without blood draws or invasive procedures. The sensor system is seamlessly integrated with a user-friendly mobile application that facilitates data visualization, trend analysis, and remote access for healthcare providers. This integration not only empowers patients to track their kidney function from the comfort of their homes but also enables clinicians to receive alerts and intervene promptly when abnormal values are detected. As the global burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) continues to rise, this affordable and patient-centric solution has the potential to revolutionize renal care. By reducing dependency on frequent hospital visits and enabling early detection of deterioration in kidney function, this system enhances accessibility, promotes proactive disease management, and may ultimately reduce healthcare costs. The paper details the device’s architecture, operational mechanisms, and validation methodology, and explores its transformative implications for the future of nephrology and telemedicine.
