Think about the last time you actually had your cholesterol checked. If you are like most people, it has probably been years since it usually means scheduling a lab visit and getting your blood drawn. Caltech researchers just built something that could change that entirely — a small stick-on patch that reads your cholesterol and triglyceride levels continuously, using sweat instead of blood. How the sweat patch actually reads your cholesterol Sweat and blood do not share a simple, predictable relationship, so you cannot just measure cholesterol in sweat and expect it to match what shows up in a blood…
