SINGAPORE - A new, non-invasive method may do away with the need to draw blood for testing blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) have developed a stretchable, hydrogel-based sensor that can detect such biomarkers in a solid state on the skin. The technology could be used in wearables for purposes such as chronic disease management and remote patient monitoring. The team’s findings were published in the scientific journal Nature Materials in June.     https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/nus-astar-researchers-develop-sensor-that-can-detect-cholesterol-and-glucose-from-skin   (ICE SINGAPORE)
