(2021, October 15). Wearable, non-invasive sensor measures glucose in sweat. Medgadget. https://www.medgadget.com/2021/10/wearable-non-invasive-sensor-measures-glucose-in-sweat.html ]]> 2023-02-06 00:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaney16/jgdc963uobn0k6tq/wish/2469325491 dhaney16 https://padlet.com/dhaney16/jgdc963uobn0k6tq/wish/2469336096 A research group from Penn State University has created a non-invasive measuring device that detects levels of glucose in sweat (Hastings, 2021). The small device, approximately one inch long, can be worn on the forearm and allows for sweat to interact with an alkaline solution that forms a reaction with an alloy within the device. An electrical signal then determines the glucose level of the sweat. 

This device would eliminate the need for painful finger sticks, and is more convenient that other noninvasive measuring devices such as enzymatic sensors (Hasting, 2021). The device has performed well in testing and researchers have found good correlations between the glucose level detected in sweat and that detected with a blood sample. As work continues on this glucose monitor, researchers hope to gather more data to ensure accuracy of glucose measurement and ways to make the device more portable and ready for use in patients that require regular glucose monitoring (Hastings, 2021). ]]> 2023-02-06 01:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaney16/jgdc963uobn0k6tq/wish/2469336096 dhaney16 https://padlet.com/dhaney16/jgdc963uobn0k6tq/wish/2469339303 Finger stick monitoring of glucose is a hassle for patients, and avoiding the pain this requires can contribute to patient noncompliance with recommended monitoring schedules. Other noninvasive measuring devices use enzymes to measure glucose, but these require being stored at a specific pH level and temperature, and there is also a limit on how long these enzymes can be stored. Removing these discomforts and barriers to regularly monitoring glucose levels can enhance patient compliance, lead to better patient outcomes, and help to avoid adverse events related to infrequent monitoring of glucose. ]]> 2023-02-06 01:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaney16/jgdc963uobn0k6tq/wish/2469339303 dhaney16 https://padlet.com/dhaney16/jgdc963uobn0k6tq/wish/2469346866 Using my own Clifton Strengths of Intellection, Input, Learner, Individualization, and Empathy, I will assemble a team with complimentary strengths in order to facilitate successful implementation of this innovation. 

Amelia, with strength in Adaptability, will be a great choice as we work to implement a new device into practice and she can help facilitate our transition to its use. Rose, who is a good Relator, can help the team to work well together and to understand the different points of view regarding this innovation and its implementation. Fernando brings the strength of Focus, and this is needed to make sure the entire team continues to stay centered on our task of how to implement this new innovation, as well as to help us keep in mind the great benefits of this new technology. Carter, whose strength is Communication, can help to ensure best communication both within the group working towards this goal but also in communicating to others outside the group about the importance of our innovation. Lastly, William has the Woo strength and will help to keep us all energized and excited about bringing this new innovation into our practice. ]]> 2023-02-06 01:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaney16/jgdc963uobn0k6tq/wish/2469346866
