Electronic tattoo 'could revolutionise patient monitoring'
By James Gallagher Health reporter, BBC News
The sensor can be built into a temporary tattoo
An "electronic tattoo" could herald a revolution in the way patients are monitored and provide a breakthrough in computer gaming, say US scientists.
They used the device, which is thinner than a human hair, to monitor the heart and brain, according to a study in the journal Science.
The sensor attaches to human skin just like a temporary tattoo and can move, wrinkle and stretch without breaking.
