Foreign Media: A team from the Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a wearable dopamine patch that uses microneedles to painlessly collect subcutaneous fluid and enables real-time, ultra-sensitive monitoring of dopamine levels.
This neurotransmitter is closely associated with neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and depression. Traditional detection methods struggle to provide continuous tracking. Researchers noted that this innovation opens a new pathway for continuous monitoring of neurotransmitters, bringing early screening for neurological diseases and intelligent home health management closer to reality.
The related findings were published in the August issue of Biosensors and Bioelectronics.
