Gatorade created a wearable patch that can let you know if you’re properly hydrated.
This was developed by a startup called Epicore Biosystems who works with PepsiCo’s Gatorade subsidiary, the new Gx Sweat Patch (featuring Gatorade’s recognizable branding) is designed to be stuck to the inner left arm of an athlete during a workout. It has an accompanying app that generates a “sweat profile” that lets the wearer know how much to drink to replenish their hydration levels.
The scan uses basic image recognition to generate a report—alongside metrics like the user’s age, sex, weight, type of workout, and even the weather—on how much fluid was lost during the physical activity, and how much should be consumed to adequately rehydrate.
Technology is an insanely unique tool for sure.
Sports drink maker @Gatorade launches its first wearable device, the Gx Sweat Patch.
The patch was designed for use with the Gx iOS app, the company’s new workout and recovery app.
The patch will sell for $24.99 online & at @DICKS stores.
