Claim 16:
17. A method for treating fluid overload in a subject, the method comprising:
shifting fluids directly and non-invasively from an interstitial compartment of the subject to skin of the subject through controlled local fluid loss, thereby removing excess fluid from the interstitial compartment of the subject and treating fluid overload in the subject,
wherein the fluid loss is sweating stimulated by controlling an environment within a chamber of a mobile, wearable apparatus fitted around a body part of a subject, said environment being monitored and controlled by a controller configured to control and adjust inflow air temperature and air flow rate into the chamber based, at least in part, on a calculated sweat rate within the chamber based, at least in part, on data received from one or more relative humidity sensors configured to capture relatively humidity data associated with the chamber.
