Sorry, Fitbit. We may soon have a battery-free wearable device that monitors your health--a bio-sensing tattoo.

Researchers at MIT and Harvard Medical School recently announced the development of the "Dermal Abyss," a health-monitoring tattoo that can turn your body surface into an interactive display. It is a development that should excite biohackers and transhumanists, but also have potentially large mainstream applications.
