Sports drink maker Gatorade is launching its first-ever wearable device, the Gx Sweat Patch. The patch is a one-time-use wearable that analyzes sweat to provide athletes with insights into their athletic performance and hydration levels.

 

 

Use this comfortable patch while you work out and scan it with the Gx app to discover more about how you need to hydrate. Moreover, this Wearable Sweat Patch delivers personal deliverables based on your results.

 

 

Gatorade says the patch should be worn on the left inner arm during a single workout. It will fill up with sweat as the athlete exercises. After finishing the workout, users can scan their patch using Gatorade’s app, Gx, to reveal their unique sweat profile.

 

 

The sweat profile is based on sweat levels, sodium losses in the forearm, body weight and workout type or intensity. The results provide hydration strategies to maximize performance and avoid cramping or dehydration. Results can tell you everything from fluid and sodium loss to the rate you sweat and compare it with other workouts.

 

 

So you can set yourself goals for future workouts. And the Gx app saves your data, so you needn’t wear it for the same exercise regime. Overall, it’s an encouraging way to assess your health while you exercise without restricting your movement.
