TLDR A hat with sensors can measure scalp moisture well, helping with hair care.
The study developed a hat-shaped device equipped with wearable sensors to estimate scalp moisture, using data from 15 participants. Four machine learning models (SVM, RF, Conv1d, and GRU) were trained and tested, with SVM showing the best performance in inter-subject evaluations. The device collected biometric and environmental data, and the results indicated that machine learning models could effectively estimate scalp moisture. The study suggests that this approach offers a practical and cost-effective alternative to specialized equipment, though it highlights the need for more diverse training data and safer methods for measuring core body temperature.
