Abstract
Wearables capable of collecting and analyzing sweat are of interest for athletics and health monitoring. Here, the authors report a resettable microfluidic platform comprising soft pumps and valves that provides triggered release of chemesthetic agents to alert the user of excessive sweat loss.
