US engineers create world’s first dental floss that tracks cortisol for stress
SMRTR summary
Engineers at Tufts University have developed a dental floss sensor that measures cortisol levels in saliva, offering a simple way to track stress. The device uses electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polymers to detect cortisol and could be adapted for other biomarkers. This innovation may provide an easy, affordable method for ongoing health monitoring, though it's not intended for diagnosis.
