Researchers at two top universities have teamed up to develop an electronic wrist tattoo that could help monitor blood pressure.
The teams at the University of Texas and Texas A&M said the tattoo takes its measurements by shooting an electrical current into the skin and then it analyzes the body’s response.
"The sensor for the tattoo is weightless and unobtrusive. You place it there. You don’t even see it, and it doesn’t move," said co-leader of the project Roozbeh Jafari said. "You need the sensor to stay in the same place because if you happen to move it around, the measurements are going to be different."
The technology is still being developed. The researchers published their work in the journal: Nature Nanotechnology.
