For millions who struggle with blood sugar issues or dehydration, tracking those changes can be difficult. Harvard researchers partnered with MIT engineers to create a tattoo that could tell people exactly what's wrong.
The engineers develoaped biosensitive tattoo inks that solve a lot of the problems of current wearable devices. Ali Yetisen, a postdoctoral fellow at Massachusettes General Hospital, said the idea came from looking into a future beyond modern wearables. Short battery life and wireless connectivity to a device hinder those who need constant monitoring services.
