This product is not on the market, but it looks like it could be in the near future. This research group are not the only ones on this path.

Mars1 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) That's a really interesting article and I can see how this can turn out. They already create patches that release medication for hormones, help you stop smoking and other medications, why not add electronics that can read information from your skin. This is the future of medicine and health. A small patch put on your arm under a shirt. Edited April 10, 2014 by Mars1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
