DEVICE

KERMIT dermal patch

The KERMIT patch is a non-invasive, wearable device designed to collect sweat and measure concentrations of kidney function biomarkers, including creatinine, urea, and cystatin C. The patch integrates printed biosensors and a microfluidic system for electrochemical detection. It is applied to the skin for a short duration (typically \<1 hour), with pilocarpine stimulation. This study evaluates the patch's performance in differentiating between CKD patients with reduced versus preserved renal function.
