  • Title: Non-invasive mouthguard biosensor for continuous salivary monitoring of metabolites.
    Author: Kim J, Valdés-Ramírez G, Bandodkar AJ, Jia W, Martinez AG, Ramírez J, Mercier P, Wang J.
    Journal: Analyst; 2014 Apr 07; 139(7):1632-6. PubMed ID: 24496180.
    Abstract:
    The present work describes the first example of a wearable salivary metabolite biosensor based on the integration of a printable enzymatic electrode on a mouthguard. The new mouthguard enzymatic biosensor, based on an immobilized lactate oxidase and a low potential detection of the peroxide product, exhibits high sensitivity, selectivity and stability using whole human saliva samples. Such non-invasive mouthguard metabolite biosensors could tender useful real-time information regarding a wearer's health, performance and stress level, and thus hold considerable promise for diverse biomedical and fitness applications.
