Electronic tattoo 'could revolutionise patient monitoring' 11 August 2011Last updated at 19:01 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. Researchers hope it could replace bulky equipment currently used in hospitals. A mass of cables, wires, gel-coated sticky pads and monitors are currently needed to keep track of a patient's vital signs. Scientists say this can be "distressing", such as when a patient with heart problems has to wear a bulky monitor for a month "in order to capture abnormal but rare cardiac events".

Abstract Embedded piezoresistive microcantilever (EPM) sensors were used to measure osmolality changes in both saliva mimic solutions and true human saliva.
Osmolality changes in human saliva or urine may prove to be reliable, simple, and easy to measure markers for tracking human hydration levels. EPM sensors used in these experiments show good response to osmolality changes in both NaCl-based saliva mimic solutions and to human saliva. The addition of zero-point offset correction to EPM sensors allows for tracking of saliva osmolality changes with high accuracy. Also, the same EPM sensors exhibit a large enough range of osmolality response to make them potentially suitable for urine or blood serum osmolality monitoring.
