Why Sweanty?
Knowledge and technology combined for better performance.
DEHYDRATION
The risks of
dehydration
Dehydration can have serious effects on the body, such as
SWEAT PROFILE
Why is it important to know your SWEATPROFILE?
The SWEATPROFILE is the tendency to secrete salts according to your physiology.
During physical exercise, each person tends to secrete sweat with a different amount of salts. The composition of each sweat is a fundamental factor to take into account in order to know your specific hydration needs.
TECHNOLOGY
Technology at the service of your performance
Our devices are composed of skin-friendly adhesives combined with flexible electronics to create comfortable and smart skin patches.
Based on a patented method, we have developed a technology that allows us to analyse people’s sweat through a paper battery.

Screening for cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is the most common autosomal lethal disorder in the Caucasian population, affecting around 48,000 patients in Europe.
Cystic Fibrosis patients have a mutation in the CFTR protein responsible for the secretion of salts in sweat, among other functions. At Sweanty we have created a self-powered skin patch to measure the ionic conductivity of sweat, and therefore the salts present in it, in patients with Cystic Fibrosis.
The presentation of the first prototype developed for the detection of Cystic Fibrosis was presented in the following scientific article: Ortega, L., Llorella, A., Esquivel, J. P. & Sabaté, N. Self-powered smart patch for sweat conductivity monitoring. Microsystems Nanoeng. 5, (2019).
The device was developed in the framework of a European project (ERC PoC, POWER-PATCH) at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC). It has been validated in a clinical setting with 40 volunteer patients at the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Barcelona.
