ABSTRACT
Sweat is a complex fluid known to be rich in electrolytes, small molecules, and fatty acids. Although adults can sweat up to 10 liters per day, little is still known about the chemical composition of sweat, how this changes, and what are its implications for health and disease. We demonstrate a powerful approach to help elucidate this link, where collecting samples simply requires swabbing a glass slide across one’s forehead in less than 30 seconds. Using the combination of desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and statistical machine learning, our approach can successfully detect over 10,000 metabolites in sweat and identify metabolic changes in the sweat profile related to gender, age, and disease. As an example, we demonstrate in a cohort of 65 subjects the possibility of using just a few metabolites detected in sweat to successfully identify patients with renal disease. More generally, our approach suggests the possibility of using the sweat profile to non-invasively assess individual risk for metabolic diseases in the theme of “Precision Medicine.”

Vishnu Shankar recently graduated with his master’s degree in computer science, with a specialization in artificial intelligence from Stanford University. He completed his bachelor’s degree with honors in mathematical and computational sciences in 2018, also at Stanford, with his senior thesis on Bayesian networks for incorporating effect modifiers in meta-analysis. In addition, his background spans biology, mathematics, chemistry, statistics, operations research, physics, and computing. Vishnu has published 6 papers and 3 articles in fields including protein structural prediction, comparison of clinical guidelines cost-effectiveness in type 2 diabetes, development of programs to combat mental illness, cancer diagnosis with analytical chemistry and machine learning, and related areas. He is also the founder of the CARES organization to support peer student wellness at college campuses, for which he won the Asoka Youth Changemaker award sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim. Vishnu has enthusiastically pursued science since his middle school days and has worked on demonstrating the possibilities of DNA computing, simulating protein folding, studying the genetic modifications in fruits and vegetables, and more. He has been recognized for his scientific research as an Intel Science Talent finalist, Google Science Fair Regional finalist, recipient of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Excellence award for his work on epidemiology modeling. Vishnu has interned at Caltech and Genentech, where he applied experimental techniques to purify and study protein behavior including dialysis, titration, chromatography for early stage drug development. He was also selected as one of the two high school students to represent the western US Confucius Institute in Student Leaders Exchange Program in China as a non-native Mandarin speaker.

ABSTRACT
Digital health has provided a range of solutions, including health and wellness-related management, machine learning algorithms for pattern recognition, AI for genetic analysis, AI-enhanced clinical decision making, and virtual doctors that use AI for patient intake triage. Intellectual property can play an important role in providing a competitive advantage in the digital health industry. We will explore opportunities and challenges for protecting digital health technologies during the program, including patent eligibility challenges and the use of trade secrets.

Stanford University – School of Medicine
In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month, join the Stanford Medicine Abilities Coalition (SMAC) for a first of its kind StanfordMed LIVE event focused on disability. Now more than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic, disabilities, health conditions, and illness impact not only our patients but also all of us, both personally and as members of the Stanford Medicine community. Stanford Medicine leadership will share information, answer questions, and engage in a roundtable discussion about the state of disability at Stanford and how best to support faculty, staff, and students living with disability and chronic illness. We encourage our community to submit questions and comments here to be shared broadly with the Stanford Medicine community. The same link can be used to request any accommodations needed for the livestream. Additional information for the webcast itself will be sent out closer to the event.
