Electronic tattoo tracks the heat running through your veins

Rogers has been working on a series of super-thin, flexible electronics that are both wearable and totally unnoticeable to their wearer — they're so thin, they've often been referred to as electronic tattoos. His research team's latest device contains a hypersensitive thermometer that he says can do the job of a quarter-million dollar thermal infrared camera, even though it costs only pennies worth of parts. Not only can the wearable thermometer do the same job, Rogers says that it can do it better: because it attaches to the skin, it can measure temperature over a long period of time, during a person's day-to-day activities, and without its target shifting around and introducing inaccuracies to a camera's steady sensor.

Still not gonna wear a tattoo. But its sounds like for example something professional athletes could use and probably many more uses.

As a Christian this makes me think of the mark of the beast. So yeah I'm sure I'll get one /s (100% not unless proven wrong)

It isn't a tattoo, it is just compared to tattoos due to its very slim form factor.

This might be the first step towards having a complete health-check 24/7. Just imagine if the computer in your skin or wherever it shall be can pre-diagnose something like a heart attack before it even happens, so that you can get to a hospital and prevent it from even happening.

This kind of technology has the potential to increase lifetimes like no other previous inventions, oh man the future will be epic
