A Multimodal Framework for Continuous Skin Hydration Monitoring Using Wearable Sensor

IET Biometrics
The outermost layer of the skin, stratum corneum, functions as a critical barrier. Its hydration levels are being actively affected by sweat gland activity, which is a significant mechanism for thermoregulation during physical exertion. Despite the known
