Claim:
1. A wearable device configured to monitor perspiration from a user, the wearable device comprising: a main body able to be worn by the user; a support portion protruding from an interior surface of the main body facing the user; at least one electrode assembly secured to the support portion, each of the at least one electrode assembly including two electrode arrays and a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged in arrays, each electrode array including a plurality of arranged electrodes electrically connected to each other, the plurality of electrodes of each electrode array including at least two first electrodes each electrically connected to one of the plurality of carbon nanotubes, the plurality of carbon nanotubes electrically connected to the two electrode arrays being alternatively arranged on the support portion and spaced from each other to form a detecting surface, the plurality of carbon nanotubes configured to be electrically connected to each other when perspiration from the user is absorbed by the detecting surface, thereby causing a resistance value of the electrode assembly to decrease; a memory for storing a relationship between different resistance values of the electrode assembly and amounts of the perspiration, each amount of the perspiration corresponding to one resistance value of the electrode assembly; and a processor configured to detect a resistance value of each of the at least one electrode assembly and determine an amount of the perspiration corresponding to the detected resistance value according to the stored relationship.
