Biometric tattoos anyone? Chaotic Moon develops high-tech wearable for medical, military
Chaos Moon, a software design and development firm, is currently developing a high-technology kind of tattoo. No, it is not the usual tattoo that most people get. It is not just an expression of art or creativity. It is something that really has a concrete purpose.
According to Motherboard, the high-tech tattoo that Chaos Moon is developing now is just a temporary tattoo. Is it like a henna tattoo? Well, at a certain point, yes. It is because it will just fade through time. However, it is more than just a henna.
This temporary high-tech tattoo is called Tech Tats. These are removable biosensor wearables that come in the form of a tattoo. It makes use of the complex circuitry.
Digital Trends reported that the purpose of inventing this kind of advanced tattoo is to make getting body diagnostics much easier and much more high-tech than before. It can also make physical annual check-up much more comfortable in so many ways. One of these is that it will allow you to do this physical examination at the comfort of your own home.
The circuitry of Tech Tat is super thin. However, people should not be fooled. Just because it is thin does not mean that it does not have a lot of chips and other parts in it. The truth is that it is the circuit board that is full of sensors and chips on the person's skin.
If discretion is an issue, then a person can easily pace this Tech Tat under his clothing as its temporary adhesive is very effective in affixing to the skin.
This technology sports ATiny85 microcontroller. It is the part that acts as the brain of the item. It connects every single sensor that is implanted in its circuitry.
The Tech Crunch says that Chaotic Moon said that their high-tech biosensor wearable can monitor a person's body temperature. It also has the ability to determine if a person is stressed just by analyzing his hydration level, heart rate and sweat. The information coming from these factors will be uploaded through Bluetooth or through some mesh networks.
According to Ben Lamm, the CEO of Chaotic Moon, this tattoo biosensor wearables project is by far, the most exciting project of his company in history.
He said that this invention is well-rounded considering that there are health applications, military applications and many other great possibilities around the project.
