Scientists have developed a "smart" patch that will determine the mood of the child

At Stanford University, scientists have developed a unique patch that is able to determine the level of cortisol in sweat secreted.

This hormone is produced by the human body during stress, danger, as well as in a state of depression and deep psychological experiences.

The patch is attached to the skin and rather quickly responds to changes in the amount of cortisol due to the built-in sensor.

It is possible to measure the level of the stress hormone with the help of a laboratory blood test, but, you see, taking blood from a kid to understand why he behaves strangely, unnaturally and unwisely.

New development will help parents to quickly understand why a small child is crying or does not want to play and communicate.

This is especially true for parents of babies who do not know how to explain with words what concerns them. This will enable timely provide the baby with the necessary assistance and psychological support.

Scientists believe that their development can have a wider application - it can be used to diagnose some diseases at the very early stage, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of physical activity in the training process in professional athletes.
