COMING TO AN ARM NEAR YOU.... DISEASE-SENSING TATTOOS

A professor from Princeton University was awarded a grant for a temporary tattoo that can sense and alert others to disease via built-in antenna.

His "smart" tattoos have been performing well in the lab. There are mini-antennae embedded in the tattoo that wireless report detected substances to computers.

The idea for the tattoo came from a woman who passed out in a grocery store and her scannable tattoo told medical workers that she had asthma.
