Sweating is an important physiological reaction and a clinical symptom in a variety of diseases. However, it remains underrated in clinical use. Gold standards to measure the sweat rate are neither continuous nor easily or lab-independently applicable. With the emergence of novel wearable devices, using the sweat rate as a digital biomarker shows promise for clinical monitoring and diagnostics. In this Commentary, we discuss the potential and importance of the sweat rate as a digital biomarker in clinical medicine beyond sports science.

Abstract
Sweating is an important physiological reaction and a clinical symptom in a variety of diseases. However, it remains underrated in clinical use. Gold standards to measure the sweat rate are neither continuous nor easily or lab-independently applicable. With the emergence of novel wearable devices, using the sweat rate as a digital biomarker shows promise for clinical monitoring and diagnostics. In this Commentary, we discuss the potential and importance of the sweat rate as a digital biomarker in clinical medicine beyond sports science.
