3D printable design of the wearable spectrometer for analyzing sweat to track for health

The importance of health in today society can be described that good health is recognized as one of the fundamental rights of an individual, but while trying to make ends meet, some of them might not have enough time to go for a regular checkup or even exercise. Most of us rely mainly on phone apps,...
