Model Gx Sweat Patch -Hydration Biomarker Analytics and Recovery Insights
To enable real-time performance insights and individualized recommendations, Epicore has developed algorithms as part of a software application in partnership with Gatorade. The Gatorade Gx iOS app is available now on the App Store, empowering athletes to track their workouts and view their real time sweat profiles and nutritional recommendations. These algorithms and recommendations build on extensive research including a large scale (n=312 athletes) study tracking athletic performance and sweat. [1]
