What is the Nix Hydration Biosensor?
The Nix Hydration Biosensor is a smart wearable device designed to analyze a user's sweat in real-time, providing critical data regarding fluid and electrolyte loss during exercise.
The equipment consists of 3 main components
• Patch: A single-use adhesive patch applied to the arm, responsible for collecting sweat samples.
• Pod: A small sensor unit that clips onto the patch to analyze electrolyte levels and fluid loss, then transmits the data via Bluetooth.
• App: An application that displays the results on a smartphone or smartwatch.
How to Use the Nix Hydration Biosensor
1. Preparation
Charge the Pod: Ensure the sensor is fully charged by connecting it to the USB charging base.
Install the Application: Download the Nix Hydration App and pair the Pod with your smartphone via Bluetooth.
Set Up Your Profile: Input your weight, height, and sport type to help the system calculate initial data with higher accuracy.
2. Setup and Installation
Select Placement: The standard placement is on the bicep or forearm of either arm.
Clean the Skin: Wipe the application area with an alcohol prep pad to remove any lotion or dirt, and allow it to dry completely.
Apply the Patch: Peel off the protective film and press the Patch firmly onto your arm, ensuring the adhesive is fully secured to the skin.
Attach the Pod: Snap the sensor (Pod) into the mount on the Patch. You will see a status light indicate a successful connection.
3. Starting Your Activity
Launch the app on your smartphone or compatible smartwatch.
Select your activity type (e.g., Running or Cycling).
Press Start. The system will begin gathering data as soon as you start to sweat.
4. During Your Workout
Receive Alerts: Once the sensor detects fluid loss reaching a specific threshold, the app will send an audio or vibration alert via your watch or headphones.
Follow the Guidance: The app will provide specific instructions on what to consume (e.g., "Drink 8 oz of Water" or "Drink Electrolytes") to maintain optimal balance.
5. Post-Activity
End the Session: Press Stop in the app to save your data.
Remove the Device: Gently peel off the Patch. Note: The Patch is single-use only and should be discarded.
Maintain the Pod: Wipe the Pod clean and dry, then return it to the charger or store it in a dry place.
Review Your Summary: Check your Sweat Profile in the app to see the total amount of fluid and sodium lost during the session.
Key Features
