Biosensors as a Tattooed Interface

Key points from article :

Dermal Abyss research involves a novel approach in which the surface of the body is rendered as an interactive display.

The biosensors would not only reflect the glucose level in the blood but its pH level as well. PH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the blood.
