  "account": "Researchers at Korea University have developed a technology that uses a thin skin patch to track the concentration and breakdown of drugs in the body through sweat. The patch, which does not require blood sampling, can be used for personalized medication management and doping tests for athletes. In a study involving 10 adults, the researchers used the patch to track changes in sweat metabolites after consuming caffeine, and were able to detect individual differences in caffeine breakdown rates. The technology uses a gold nano-gel patch and AI algorithm to analyze sweat signals and calculate drug concentrations.",
