Un timbre épidermique pourrait simplifier la vie des diabétiques
Des ingénieurs de l’université de Californie, spécialisés en nanotechnologie, ont mis au point un timbre épidermique capable de mesurer le taux de glucose dans l’organisme. Encore au stade du prototype, ce dispositif pourrait, à terme, éviter aux personnes atteintes de diabète d’avoir recours à des tests sanguins quotidiens.

![A Tattoo That Monitors Your Sweat [VIDEO] | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it](https://img.scoop.it/JCFMlBso0eEOvXUKCKZ6zjl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVvK0kTmF0xjctABnaLJIm9)
Researchers at UCSD at developing technology that will create a tattoo that monitors your sweat to provide an assessment of metabolic health.
A team at the University of California-San Diego are looking into sensors applied to the skin, much like a temporary tattoo. In the journal Analytical Chemistry, researchers explain these thin strips of adhesive can monitor an athlete’s chemical balance to gauge their physical activity.

Amay Bandodkar, a researcher at the University of California, San Diego, has created a flexible sensor that uses a mild electrical current to measure glucose levels in a person's body. Measuring blood sugar levels multiple times a day is vital for diabetes patients because it shows how well their body is managing their disease as well as the dose of insulin they require, if they need any at all. But because many people find needles unpleasant, they tend to avoid measuring their levels, which puts them at risk of developing serious medical complications. The new device is painless — It contains electrodes printed on a thin tattoo paper that patients can even dispose after use. "Presently the tattoo sensor can easily survive for a day," Bandodkar said in a statement. "These are extremely inexpensive — a few cents — and hence can be replaced without much financial burden on the patient."
