Woman jogging in the forest. (StockSnap 2017)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Sweat Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweat contains valuable biomarkers that can reveal hydration status, electrolyte balance, and even lactate levels, which are critical for understanding physical exertion and recovery. Onasport uses patented electrochemical sensors to decode these biomarkers non-invasively, offering continuous monitoring without the need for blood samples or lab visits. This technology has been validated in high-performance sports centers and is part of a growing trend in wearable health monitoring. (Onalabs 2025).<br><br>Hydration monitoring is especially important for endurance athletes, as even a small loss in body fluids can significantly impair performance (Ojala, Jaakola &amp; Meht\u00e4nen 2024). Wearable devices like Onasport help athletes avoid dehydration and optimize their fluid intake based on real-time data. This makes it possible to make informed decisions during training and in competitions. It supports peak performance and faster recovery after training. The users do not have to rely on generic guidance, but they can plan their training individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">User-Centered Testing with Endurance Athletes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The pilot involved Finnish endurance athletes who tested the device over two separate one- to two-month periods. Before the trial, participants shared their expectations and goals. During the testing phase, they used the device actively and were asked to keep daily journals to document their experiences. After the trial, feedback was collected through surveys and group discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the preliminary results from the pilot, the athletes found the device easy to use and appreciated the real-time feedback on hydration and exertion. Several participants reported adjusting their fluid intake based on the data provided, which they felt improved their recovery and performance. However, some reported challenges with sensor placement and data consistency during high-intensity sessions. These experiences will help to improve the device so that it is easier to use and works better even in challenging sports situations.<br><br>The user-centered approach aligns well with recent research emphasizing the importance of usability and user experience in wearable health technologies. Studies show that long-term engagement and effectiveness of wearables depend heavily on how intuitive and comfortable they are to use, especially in real-world conditions. (See e.g. Baskan &amp; Goncu-Berk 2022.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expanding the Scope: Winter Sports on the Horizon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, Onasport will be tested with Finnish lacrosse teams. Both men\u2019s and women\u2019s squads will take part in the pilot. This time the focus will be on the coach\u2019s perspective along with the athlete\u2019s feedback on user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key interests for future development is testing the device in winter sports. Cold conditions present unique challenges for wearable technologies, and the Onasport sensor has not yet been evaluated in such environments. LAB and Onalabs are exploring opportunities to extend the pilot to winter athletes, which could open new avenues for product development and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INSHAPE Project \u2013 Bridging Innovation and Wellbeing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LAB and Onalabs were brought together by I3-INSHAPE project. The collaboration with Onalabs exemplifies the INSHAPE project\u2019s mission to connect companies, researchers, and users in co-developing solutions that support individual wellbeing. The I3-INSHAPE initiative, co-funded by the EU, aims to build a European network of innovation hubs that support SMEs in scaling up health and sports technologies across regions (EPSI 2025). LAB\u2019s role as a testing and development partner highlights the university\u2019s commitment to applied research and its ability to contribute to international innovation ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b3edfb\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Author<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hanna Laine<\/strong> is a lecturer in Physiotherapy, Expert in INSHAPE Project, LAB University of Applied Sciences<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"215\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-1024x215.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25519\" style=\"width:248px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-1024x215.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-300x63.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-768x161.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-1536x322.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-2048x430.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-570x120.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/inshape-logo-2023-tagline-1024x405.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25520\" style=\"width:230px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/inshape-logo-2023-tagline-1024x405.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/inshape-logo-2023-tagline-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/inshape-logo-2023-tagline-768x304.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/inshape-logo-2023-tagline-1536x607.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/inshape-logo-2023-tagline-2048x810.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/inshape-logo-2023-tagline-570x225.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Baskan, A. and Goncu-Berk, G. 2022.
