Research labs in the US and UK are developing injectable “smart tattoos” that could monitor certain biomarkers in the human body.
Tattoos are considered to be among the oldest forms of art, dating back thousands of years and practiced by many cultures across human history. Now some researchers believe the next generation of tattoos will be about more than just markings – by helping keep tabs on our health. Creating “smart tattoo” pigments that can be injected under the skin to monitor certain biomarkers in the human body requires a collaboration between “scientists, engineers and designers,” says Dr.
Instead, using the smart ink, “you can come in and your radiation therapist can shine a little UV light on, you activate the tattoo so it’s visible and they can align the [radiation] beam,” he says, “and then as soon as your radiation therapy is done, they can shine a white light on you and the tattoo will disappear … until the next time you come back for treatment.
