Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. A wearable continuous monitor for cortisol and more is on the way. Stanford University spinout Adaptyx Biosciences is in the process of commercializing a wearable device that will measure hormones.

And we’re starting first with the stress hormone cortisol.”Why?“Cortisol is a really, really critical and fundamental molecule that affects every major organ system in the body.

When it is dysregulated, when we’re under a lot of stress chronically, when those levels get too high, it can drive diabetes, hypertension.”More on the significance in my next report.You can find us at Techstination.com.
