Nocturnal sweat rate sensor
Q-strip quantitatively measures sweating during sleep
IoT
LoRaWAN data transmission to The Things Network
The Q-strip is a sensor that quantitatively measures humidity in bed. The ribbon is placed ontop of the mattress in a horizontal position at chest height, and underneath the top bed sheet. Q-strip is able to measure night sweating accurate, longitudinal and in habitual sleeping conditions.
Technology
Our sensor is tested and compatible with different types of data storage and data transmission.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth data transmission and Android app
SD card
Data storage on SD card (CSV file)
Example data of 18 consecutive nights
Measurement of how intense people are sweating during sleep. We have data of about 1,500 night of several test persons. We measure every minute, around 360~ 900 measurements each night for each person.
Q-strip development
Digital Biomarker
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. We believe Q-strip will become a digital biomarker that can be used for medical purposes. Visit our science base.
