China's Important Wearable Device Breakthrough Source:  Wrist Watch Bionic from Nanjing University Safe, Low Power Display Screens on Your Skin This is fascinating new innovation from Chinese researchers at Nanjing University.  They've invented a new way to put displays like a wrist watch bionic or real time medical readouts on your skin.  The extremely thin device is said to be safe, flexible and requires very little power to operate.  It's a new wearable similar to a temporary tattoo but it displays electronic data like time. Tech that Could Revolutionize Wearables This new technology could revolutionize wearable devices for many users.  For runners, it could mean a bionic watch taped on your hand to watch your times as you run.  For health care tracking, it could mean real-time displays on your skin of medical data from already flexible medical devices. What Makes This New The Chinese researchers have overcome the need for hi...

Dermal Sensors Source:  German's Technical University of Munich Tattoo Health Technology Dermal sensors, that are essentially permanent tattoos, have been invented by scientists at Germany's Technical University of Munich.  The tattoos with their specially designed ink provide constant monitoring of patients with chronic health conditions. Monitoring the Bloodstream The tattoos base color is yellow.  It changes color in response to certain biomarkers.  Specifically changes in the levels of specific metabolic substances in the bloodstream.  The tattoo changes to the color green for conditions like high glucose levels.  And if the skin's pH level goes up, it turns to blue. Medical Innovation with Smartphone App These new health tattoos have the promise of being a great new medical innovation.  They offer the possibility of low cost, permanent monitoring of chronic health conditions like diabetes, kidney and liver failure, low electrolytes, ...
