Painted e-tattoos turn skin into wearable biosensor
Researchers have developed conductive ink that can be painted directly onto skin in custom designs, drying into functional electrodes. The e-tattoos can monitor biosignals like heart rate and muscle activity without bulky adhesives. The technique allows for colorful, artistic patterns that remain comfortable and durable during daily wear.
