The Discovery FilesStress Test
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have developed a new test that can easily and simply measure common stress hormones using sweat, blood, urine or saliva. The biosensor device is unique because of this ability to measure not only one but several biomarkers. Eventually, they hope to turn their ideas into a simple device that patients can use at home to monitor their mental and physical health.
