hDrop Enters European Market with RCD Espanyol de Barcelona to Deliver Advanced Sweat Testing and Hydration Technology to Pro Sports

July 14, 2025

RCD Espanyol becomes the first European club to adopt hDrop; additional teams in football, basketball, cycling and endurance sports now piloting the world’s most accurate reusable sweat biosensor.

Barcelona, Spain (July 14, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ — hDrop, the company behind the leading wearable sweat and hydration biosensor for sports, today announced its official entry into the European market through a distribution agreement with From Minus Zero (from@fromminuszero.com). The partnership will make hDrop’s reusable sweat sensor available to professional teams, amateur athletes and retail consumers across Europe.

hDrop enables athletes to measure real-time sweat rate, sodium loss and potassium loss, then translates those data into personalized hydration strategies that improve in-competition performance and accelerate recovery.

RCD Espanyol leads early adoption

LaLiga club RCD Espanyol is the first European team to integrate hDrop into its daily training workflow. By monitoring individual sweat profiles, the club’s sports science staff is tailoring electrolyte replacement protocols for each player. hDrop thanks Espanyol’s medical and nutrition teams for their collaboration and support.

World-class accuracy backed by science

• hDrop is the world’s most accurate wearable sweat sensor, delivering 92 percent accuracy on sweat-loss measurement and 87 percent accuracy on sweat sodium loss from preliminary independently validated data.
• Independent validation studies are under way at leading sports-science institutes, with peer-reviewed results expected later this year.

Designed for athletes, built for sustainability

Unlike single-use patches, hDrop is the only sweat sensing wearable that is fully reusable in the market, pairing a skin-safe sensor with a companion mobile app. Athletes receive:

1. Pre-competition planning: personalized hydration and electrolyte intake guidelines based on historical sweat profiles.
2. In-session monitoring: live feedback on fluid and sodium losses to prevent performance-limiting dehydration.
3. Post-session analysis: comprehensive reports to fine-tune training and recovery protocols.

Multi-sport pilots and retail rollout

Beyond football, elite programs in basketball, cycling, athletics and triathlon are testing hDrop this summer. European retail points of sale will be announced in the coming weeks, making the technology accessible to recreational athletes who demand professional-grade insights.
