postheadericon EES packs circuits into temporary tattoos, makes medical diagnostics fashionable

Flexible circuit pioneer John Rogers and his team are back. This time he 's development of a portable, ultra-thin circuit to places your skin like a temporary tattoo. The epidermal Electronic System (EES) is composed of circuits, the electrodes for the measurement of brain, heart and muscle activity in the same way, an EEG has now included the transfer of this data could be wirelessly to your doctor. Because it 's flexible and bonds to the skin, it can be for a long time, in contrast to conventional diagnostic pads are used in hospitals to be worn today. In the laboratory, the devices are solar powered with embedded solar cells - would require heavy duty inductive charging circuits to be practical. Rogers 'team also saw in the tech as a game controller (they wired it to someone' s neck and Sokoban played with voice commands, yet manages a 90-percent hit rate yield), but it 's somehow off from replacing Your SIXAXIS. One of the problems relates to RF communication - perhaps they should be on the horn to get their friends in Oregon and build the fashionable trousers diagnostic we 're excited to wait.
