Biomedical tattoos
The art of tattooing is widespread in our lives.
To date, his task is reduced to beautifying the body, pleasing the eye or remembering important events in a person's life.
But in the future, designs on the skin could have another function.
For example, they can become true biomedical devices who can warn people of health problems in advance.
This idea of synthesis of art and medicine came to a Swiss scientist.
Recently it was announced that the researchers created a prototype of a biomedical tattoo, which becomes visible only in the event of an increase of the level of calcium in the blood.
