Graphene Tattoos: The Future of Continuous Health Monitoring?
1 min read
Summary
Graphene tattoos, developed at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, are an advance in monitoring health, with the potential to detect blood pressure, stress, diabetes and more
Flexible, transparent and conductive, the graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms, is ideal for bioelectronics and won’t be noticed on the skin
While the technology is still in its infancy and requires refinement, it is advancing rapidly and could be part of everyday life for preventative health care
As well as its bioimpedance use for measuring vital signs, the real breakthrough with grapheme tattoos is their non-invasive, continuous monitoring, ideal for early detection of health issues
