Printable medicine: Warsaw University of Technology sensors help understand the human body

For more than a decade, researchers at the Warsaw University of Technology have been developing inexpensive printed sensors designed to monitor the human body continuously and unobtrusively. What began with a pulse sensor that could be applied to the skin like a temporary tattoo has since expanded into smart insoles, electronic tattoos, wound dressings, brain electrodes and autonomous systems for monitoring water quality.
