New Tattoo Calls For Help When You Are Sick by Goldie20: 4:50am On Feb 10, 2013
A new high tech tattoo may soon be your saving grace the next time you fall ill.

Woven of gold and silk, this temporary skin embossing could detect things like bacterial infections and let others know you’re sick.

This is the brainchild of Princeton professor Michael McAlpine, who recently received a grant through his university to expedite his research and make antenna tattoos a reality.

The engineering professor says he got the idea while reading about a woman who suddenly had an asthma attack at a grocery store.

‘She couldn’t breathe enough to tell first-responders what was wrong, but she had a tattoo on her arm that said she had asthma,’ McAlpine told Times of Trenton. ‘I thought, if she can have a passive tattoo that says “I have asthma,” why not have an active tattoo that can continuously track your health?’

McAlpine’s hope is that, now that he has grant funding, he will soon be testing his invention in hospitals.

He also hopes to lengthen the time the tattoo’s antenna, which can wash off with water, will stay on the body.

And this isn’t the first time McAlpine has thought up novel ways to detect disease in the body.

Last year, he and his team of researchers reported they’d found a way to test’s one’s breath for evidence of disease.

By placing a super thin form of carbon called graphene along with disease sensing peptides on a strip and ‘tattooing’ it onto teeth, they were able to detect infection and transit the data it to medical personnel.

It seems that McAlpine and his team have now taken their ‘tooth tattoo’ a step further and are exploring new and more innovative ways to put their research to use.

This is a microchip being given a different name to deceive people; this is the mark of the beast as prophesied in the Bible, pls run run run from it. This is end-time sign, wish my people would be wise enough to see the real aim.

Your education is a waste cuz with the way you reason, you are not different from boko harams.

Re: New Tattoo Calls For Help When You Are Sick by Kslib(m): 6:08pm On Feb 11, 2013
Hmmmmn!!! Thank GOD ooooh,atleast it means that this world is coming to an end.. All the sufferings here and there is getting unbearable abeg,humans are becoming advanced monsters as days go by,all the wahala of this world is too much abeg.. Make everybody die go rest abeg...
Nowadays.when someone dies,i just smile and say "whats da big deal".. When someone dies in a brutal/gruesome way i just say "okk".. I am gradually loosing my sympathy for humans cos it just happens too much which makes me see it as nothing...
Just look at what is happening in this world today and yet some people keep saying this world wont end.. I'm not trying to bring any biblical stuff here,but cant you use common sense to reason that the "stuff" or "whatever" that brought human life to existense can still end it.. The worst thing that can ever happen to humanity is if this world doesnt end,the thought of that alone makes me sick..
There are some things that can never stop as far as the world doesnt end.. Eg.. Racism,tribalism and wickedness... This world must end and GOD ALMIGHTY will end it so that all humans who know what peace means,all humans who love joy,all humans who love other humans dearly,so that all humans who are not wicked will live a perfect and happy life they always fantasized about.. A world where there is always love and peace. A world where there is no sorrow.. MY PERFECT WORLD...
If you know you dont beleive in a GOD,PLS DONT QUOTE ME JUST ALLOW ME TO KEEP FANTASIZING AT LEAST IT GIVES ME PEACE OF MIND THAT SUFFERING AND ALL EVIL WILL END.. I know there is a GOD,and if at the end,there is no GOD,i still have nothing to loose cos mother nature knows i did nothing wrong..MAY D END OF THE WORLD COME FASTER THAN PLANNED COS OF ME IN JESUS NAME... Ammmmen

Immediately i saw this i knew some depreved primitives will start shouting "mark of the beast" it's just so commical how ignorant some people can be,shunning a life saying mechanism because of some unproven myth. Why're you using phones and computers? It might be a mind control device by the anti christ someday to establish his world government!!!cheesy:DOne is incredibly amused!!!
