Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. A wearable continuous monitor for cortisol and more is on the way. Stanford University spinout Adaptyx Biosciences is in the process of commercializing a wearable device that will measure hormones. Co-founder and CEO Vijit Sabnis..
“This is a brand new technology that allows us to measure lots and lots of other different molecules continuously. And we’re starting first with the stress hormone cortisol.”
Why?
“Cortisol is a really, really critical and fundamental molecule that affects every major organ system in the body. It controls your metabolism. It impacts your sleep. When it is dysregulated, when we’re under a lot of stress chronically, when those levels get too high, it can drive diabetes, hypertension.”
More on the significance in my next report.
