The concept sounds simultaneously futuristic and bizarre. But mark my words: You'll get one. And sooner than you think.

 

 

In a few years, it's likely that a single, inexpensive rubber patch, attached to the chest of a patient or even a newborn baby will monitor a wide range of vital signs including heart rate, nutritional status, body temperature, hydration and breathing rate.

This is where most of us will encounter electronic tattoos. Slapping an electronic tattoo on patients to monitor vital signs will probably become widespread in healthcare.

 

This guy is on the right track but I recon the first use of electronic tattoos will be to replace wrist bands at rock concerts. :th_Smileywave:
