Nix Biosensors
Real-time hydration and electrolyte monitoring through a wearable sweat sensor.
What they do
Nix Biosensors closed a $10M Series A in September 2026, taking total funding to $17M. The company measures fluid and electrolyte loss in real time through a wearable sweat sensor used in elite sport, military, occupational and consumer settings. Funding supports Nix Health, a licensable hydration algorithm built on its field sweat dataset that can plug into consumer health platforms without a sensor, plus research into further sweat-detectable markers. Led by founder and chief executive Meridith Cass.
