A Texas-based company has been working on designing a tattoo that could track your medical condition or even carry your financial information. Chaotic Moon calls its product "tech tats" and said the products' future is in "biowearables," according to its website.
Made with electro conductive paint, the tattoo has sensors and microchips that monitor blood pressure, body temperature and heart rate, Engadget reports.
"The idea is less like laying a circuit board onto your hand, as the video above shows, and more like having a slightly more protrusive tattoo with a bunch of chips on it," Vice explains.
The medical information can then be sent to your doctor via a mobile app or computer, CBS reports.
"So the tech tattoos can really tie in everything into one package. It can look at early signs of fever, your vital signs, heart rate, everything it needs to look at to notify you that you're getting sick or your child is getting sick," said Eric Schneider, the company's hardware creative technologist.
Chaotic Moon has also been considering other uses for tech tattoos, such as tracking kids with location-tracking and military applications such as sensing if there are poisons in the air, according to TechCrunch.
The tech tat can last for about a year.
