More recently, Israeli scientists have excited the whole world with the idea that temporary tattoos will monitor human health. It is assumed that this discovery will find many other uses in the field of medicine..

An innovative invention of specialists consists of several interrelated elements. One of them is a carbon electrode, which receives and transmits electrical impulses. The electrode is connected to the polymer coating by means of a special adhesive layer. Through the polymer layer, impulses from the body go directly to the electrode.

This direction is very promising in medicine and science. With the help of the created temporary tattoo, it is possible to register the signals that come from the muscle fibers and, based on the data obtained, evaluate the degree of activity and work of the human muscular system. This can be useful for tracking and monitoring the effectiveness of therapy in patients who suffer from neurodegenerative diseases, one of which is Parkinson’s disease. In addition, with the help of an electrode, it will be possible to record the tension of the small facial muscles of the face, based on the registered results, draw up a map of emotions.
