Sweat as a Testing Analytical Fluid for Emotions and Stress Biomarkers Detection

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Human emotions using analytical methods and biomarkers are a recent field with increasing relevance, not only in the military context but also in the society. Both physical and psychological stress have been related to several disorders including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The control of emotions and stress is of extreme importance for the military, for the adjustment of operational conditions, minimization of risks for health and to attain better succeed operations. The current study is part of the project Stressense that aims to detect novel stress biomarkers, by non-invasive methodologies, using sweat, for the development of real-time monitoring devices, integrated in wearables. Military volunteers took part of a case of study that allowed to identify new molecules with potential to be stress biomarkers, present both in sweat and blood or detected only in sweat. For some set of molecules, good correlation was achieved between the results attained in stress and rest conditions. Taking in consideration the results, the development of an in situ wearable will be the next step of the project.
