This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) provides $400,000 in funding to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to develop a wearable sweat-sensing platform capable of non-invasive, continuous, and laboratory-independent assessment of biological age and resilience.

The key objectives of this 4-year award are: 1) Identification and exploration of novel sweat-based molecular biomarkers associated with heat strain and aging, to construct a comprehensive "age clock" of resilience using advanced machine learning algorithms; 2) Prospective validation of the identified biomarkers through clinical studies; and 3) Integration of the validated biomarkers into a state-of-the-art wearable sweat-analyzing platform for real-time monitoring of biological age and resilience. This collaborative U.S.-Swiss project is supported by both the NSF and the Swiss National Science Foundation.
