Researchers at the University of California San Diego believe they have a feasible, noninvasive method for monitoring serum glucose: a temporary tattoo.
In this 51˶ video interview, Joseph Wang, DSc, and Amay Bandodkar, a PhD candidate, discuss the device, which uses electrical current to draw sodium ions to its electrodes in order to measure piggy-backing blood glucose. They report results of an early study of seven patients and talk about device development and future research.
