The science behind the signal

Independently Scientifically Validated

hDrop is the only reusable sweat sensor that has been independently scientifically evaluated during real exercise in the heat, demonstrating ~92% accuracy for sweat-loss tracking and ~87% accuracy for sweat sodium-loss across running and cycling trials. Since that 2025 study, our team has continued improving the sensor and algorithms, with ongoing validation showing preliminary sodium-concentration accuracy approaching 95%.

What does the hDrop sweat sensor measure?

hDrop gives you real-time insights into your fluid loss, sweat rate, sodium loss, potassium loss, and sweat composition, helping you understand what your body is losing during training or racing.

hDrop measures sweat rate and electrolytes through its reusable electrode sensor and analog readings from your sweat. These physical measurements are used to calculate fluid and electrolyte losses throughout your session.

Target ZoneConcentrated ZoneDiluted Zone

Concentrated Zone

This zone indicates that your sweat has less water and more salt. It could mean you might not be drinking enough plain water.

Target Zone

This is the zone where the concentration of salts and the volume of your sweat are balanced, indicating that your sweat levels are within your regular range.

Diluted Zone

This zone shows that your sweat has more water than usual. It suggest you might be drinking too much plain water, diluting the salts in your body and potentially needing more electrolytes.

Your sweat sensor questions, answered.

Who is hDrop designed for?

hDrop is designed for athletic training and racing. It is not intended for sedentary hydration monitoring, elder-care monitoring, or diagnosing, treating, or managing medical conditions.

Does hDrop need disposable patches?

No. hDrop is fully reusable and does not require disposable patches.

Does it require a subscription?

No, hDrop does not require a subscription.

How is repeated sweat testing different from a one-off test?

hDrop records your sweat throughout your activity. Use the same sensor across runs, rides and changing conditions to compare your sweat-rate and electrolyte data over time, building a sweat profile from your own training. Explore our guide to sweat testing.

How does hDrop measure sweat rate and electrolytes?

hDrop measures sweat rate and electrolytes using a reusable electrode sensor in contact with your skin. The sensor captures analog readings from your sweat; hDrop processes these physical measurements to calculate fluid and electrolyte losses throughout your activity. Correct placement and consistent skin contact help maintain reliable readings. Learn how hDrop’s electrode sensor works.

How do I clean and reuse the sensor?

Gently clean the electrode surface with an alcohol prep pad and let it dry. Do not use water on the sensor. Remove the straps before hand-washing them with water and soap, and let them dry completely before reattaching them.

Which watches and bike computers can I use?

hDrop Gen 2 supports live data on compatible Garmin watches and Edge devices, Hammerhead Karoo 2 and the current Karoo, and Wahoo ELEMNT ACE, BOLT 3 and ROAM 3. TrainingPeaks receives completed-session data rather than a live display. Check the device-specific setup guides for model and software requirements.

Does it work without internet?

The hDrop app supports offline mode. Start and complete your activity with your phone, then upload the data when connectivity returns.
