Scientists have taken the first step to creating the next generation of wearable health monitors. Most current sensors rely on sweat, and often require huge amounts of it just to get a reading. But this study from The Ohio State University suggests that a wearable sensor may be able to monitor the body’s health by detecting the gases released from a person’s skin.

It is completely non-invasive and doesn’t require the user to do anything to get the readings. Some wearable devices, like smartwatches or fitness trackers, are already capable of measuring pulse rates or temperatures, but this team’s method would allow the technology to sense biomarkers related to metabolic disorders, like heart disease or diabetes.
