Researchers Creates Temporary Tattoo with Electronic Sensors to Monitor Vitals Wirelessly
Researchers have devised a way to print electronic sensors onto patient’s skin. The wearable sensors look like temporary tattoos and allow doctors to wirelessly monitor vitals by detecting variations in temperature, hydration and strain in the skin.
The new technology uses flexible electronics that includes “ultrathin electrodes, electronics, sensors, and wireless power and communication systems” bonded to a patient’s skin using spray-on bandages. The thin adhesive keeps the electronics attached to the patient whilst allowing for daily activity.
