Zusammenfassung: Objective: Most methods for monitoring sweat gland activity use simple gravimetric methods, which merely measure the average sweat rate of multiple sweat glands over a region of skin. It would be extremely useful to have a method which could quantify individual gland activity in order to improve the treatment of conditions which use sweat tests as a diagnostic tool, such as hyperhidrosis, cystic fibrosis, and peripheral nerve degeneration. Methods: An optical method using an infrared camera to monitor the skin surface temperature was developed. A thermodynamics computer model was then implemented to utilize these skin temperature values along with other environmental parameters, such as ambient temperature and relative humidity, to calculate the sweat rates of individual glands using chemically stimulated and unstimulated sweating. The optical method was also used to monitor sweat pulsation patterns of individual sweat glands. Results: In this preliminary study, the feasibility of the optical approach was demonstrated by measuring sweat rates of individual glands at various bodily locations. Calculated values from this method agree with expected sweat rates given values found in literature. In addition, a lack of pulsatile sweat expulsion was observed during chemically stimulated sweating, and a potential explanation for this phenomenon was proposed. Conclusion: A simple, non-contact optical method to quantify sweat gland activity in-vivo was presented. Significance: This method allows researchers and clinicians to investigate several sweat glands simultaneously, which has the potential to provide more accurate diagnoses and treatment as well as increase the potential utility for wearable sweat sensors.
