Graphene e-tattoos are wearable biosensors that stick directly to the skin
Researchers are now developing patches that can read compounds in sweat
These could indicate a range of conditions, as well as detecting stress
Invisible sweat sensors could one day be used to detect health conditions. That’s according to ongoing research at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where a lab is developing stick-on graphene tattoos that can read and report on what’s in your sweat.
We’ve heard before that wearable sensors have the potential to revolutionize health monitoring. First developed by a team at Northwestern University, these electronic skin patches are made using graphene. Less than a millimeter thick, they’re practically invisible and can flex with the skin. In years to come, the idea is that we could be wearing these patches for real-time readings around the clock.
