As technology advances our tools become smaller and more efficient. This has become true for a skin-like polymer that is about as this as a temporary tattoo. The trick is that this new tool may be able to dispense medicine based on motion, according to Venture Beat.
“A skin-like polymer material was layered with stretchable, motion and temperature sensors, resistive RAM, microheaters and drugs to be delivered through the skin. One possible use case is on-the-spot delivery of medicine in response to muscle movement, such as for epilepsy or Parkinson’s disease,” the article reads.
