INTENDED USE
Proper hydration is an important
factor in human cognitive and
physical performance. For
individuals who must perform
and react under pressure, such
as athletes and warghters,
hydration status is important to
measure and track. Until MX3
there has not been an easy and
quick method for doing so.
The MX3 Hydration Testing
System (MX3 System) uses
patent-pending biometric and
microuidic technology to
measure hydration status in
individuals rapidly and cost
effectively. The MX3 System
calculates salivary osmolarity
(SOSM) using a micro-sample of
saliva from the tongue.
Research proves that SOSM is a
very useful measure of hydration,
as it indicates the proportion
of water and key electrolytes in
saliva. Until now, SOSM testing
has been time consuming and
required expensive laboratory
equipment.
With MX3, SOSM testing
becomes easy. Unlike other
commonly used methods for
hydration assessment, such as
urine specic gravity or body
mass loss, MX3’s technology is
non-invasive and can be used
anytime, anywhere, on demand.
MX3 measurements can be
taken and viewed in real time
directly on the MX3 Device. Each
measurement is also uploaded
wirelessly to the MX3 App and
stored to be viewed in a more
detailed and historical analysis.
The MX3 App allows users to
track and view current and
historical trends that can offer
a wider analysis of hydration’s
impact on individual or group
performance, recovery, and
other factors.
