Our mission
The mission of B-Sweaty is to develop an alternative to current sweat sensing products by bridging the gap between sustainability and wearability with the goal of offering accurate, real time electrolyte loss data for athletes in order to improve performance and minimize risk of injuries, with a focus on sodium.
Our challenge
There is a definite trade-off between wearability, affordability and reusability among the current alternatives, with none of them having all three at once. The challenge for us will be combining these features while still achieving a high enough accuracy, in order to provide a valuable alternative for athletes who want to optimize their performance.
Our solution
The solution we propose is a wearable, reusable sensor that measures the concentration of electrolytes, namely sodium, in athletes' sweat. The athletes can then use this real time feedback to accurately compensate for their electrolyte losses while exercising to best maintain electrolyte balance in their body.
"We want to grow our entrepreneurial skills in order to get a better understanding of our target group alongside developing our solution, in order to turn our technology into a fully formed, innovative product."
