About

Paolo Pirovano is a leading figure in the field of wearable biosensors, with a primary focus on non-invasive health monitoring through sweat analysis. His most impactful contribution is the development of the "SwEatch" platform, a groundbreaking wearable sensor capable of sampling and measuring electrolyte concentrations in human sweat in real time. In his most cited work (2020, 145 citations), Pirovano advanced this platform by enabling the simultaneous detection of two critical analytes—sodium and potassium—using solid contact ion-sensitive electrodes (ISEs). This innovation allows for continuous, real-time monitoring of electrolyte balance during exercise, offering profound implications for athletic performance, hydration management, and clinical diagnostics. By bridging the gap between lab-based analytical chemistry and practical wearable technology, Pirovano’s research has opened new avenues for personalized health tracking. His work is widely recognized for its ingenuity and translational potential, making him a key figure in the rapidly evolving landscape of wearable sensors and point-of-care diagnostics.
