Sensors, which can be integrated into clothing and used to measure biochemical changes in body fluids,
such as sweat, constitute a major advancement in the area of wearable sensors. Initial applications for
such technology exist in personal health and sports performance monitoring. However, sample collection
is a complicated matter as analysis must be done in real-time in order to obtain a useful examination
of its composition. This work outlines the development of a textile-based fluid handling platform which
uses a passive pump to gather sweat and move it through a pre-defined channel for analysis. The system
is tested both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, a pH sensor, which depends on the use of a pH sensitive dye
and paired emitter-detector LEDs to measure colour changes, has been developed. In vitro and on-body
trials have shown that the sensor has the potential to record real-time variations in sweat during exercise.
