Electronic Tattoo Monitors Brain, Heart And Muscles

The video discusses the development of elastic electronics by John Rogers at the University of Illinois, supported by the National Science Foundation. These electronics are designed to integrate with biological tissues, offering potential applications in medical devices such as heart monitors and seizure treatments. The technology uses wavy silicon patterns to create circuits that are flexible and non-invasive, suitable for use on the skin or within the body. This innovation could be particularly beneficial for monitoring premature babies without restricting their movement.

Describe the function of the device that can inject current into heart tissue.

In what ways could biointegrated medical devices benefit premature babies?
