The Q-strip is a ribbon that quantitatively measures humidity. The ribbon includes two electrodes that measure the resistance between the electrodes. The values are transferred to a moisture sensor that is connected to a Printed Circuit Board. The PCB forwards the data sequentially to a database.
Sweating is known as a symptom of many diseases. Our mission is to develop an easy to use device for measuring and analyzing nocturnal sweating for medical purposes.

The Q-strip ribbon includes two electrodes that measure the resistance between the electrodes and transfer it to a moisture sensor connected to a Printed circuit board (PCB).
We are using the LoRaWAN protocol to connect with The Things Network and capture the data from our sensors. TTN provides a set of open tools and a network to build IoT applications.
At the moment we are cooperating with scientists to validate the Q-strip as a new digital biomarker.
We have been developing the Q-strip for more than three years. We are testing and optimising the Q-strip for measuring sweat values at night. We see both daily and multi-day patterns in the data that we cannot explain.
We believe in the potential of the Q-strip for a variety of purposes. We dream that Q-strip will become an instrument that can be used for medical purposes.
