Paint-On Electronic Tattoos Detect Heart Attacks
Penn State researchers have developed a paint-on electronic tattoo made from conductive ink that can be applied directly to the skin to monitor electrical signals such as ECG, EMG, and EEG. The washable and customizable sensor dries quickly, conforms to the body's contours, and remains functional during movement and physical activity. While initially tested for heart, muscle, and brain signals, the technology holds potential for early heart attack detection and more personalized health monitoring, though it is not yet available for consumer use.
