Electronic Tatoo! ;)
Dr. John Rogers recently created a type of electronic with the
same physical properties as skin. These electronics can be used to measure your
heart rate, your body's temperature, it can sense any kind of electrical activity
in your body, your breathing, brain waves, speech and many other things.
This electronic is like a microchip but it made out of a very thin
sheet of silicone and it is; flexible, bendable, elastic, very thin, translucent…
As oppose to a normal microchip that would be rigid, probably thicker and it
would not stick to the skin in a normal way.
This “electronic skin” can be applied in the same way as a regular
temporary tattoo. The best part is, it is removable and stays on for about a
week or two.
It is made out of several circuits and wires that together look
like a spider web.
I think that this idea of
temporary tattoo including a microchip is a good idea and could help improve
our everyday life. For example, if you monitor your heart rate and you realize that
something is not normal, you could send the information through a wireless
device and send it to your doctor.
Also go and see and have a look at the bottom of the article on this page:
There is a video and a recording that are both very interesting and worth looking at.
