What if we could avoid the painful puncture in the finger yolk to obtain information about the blood sugar level?A team of researchers from the University of California in San Diego (USA) has designed a flexible sensor as a temporary tattoo, which uses a soft electric current to measure glucose levels in a person's body.
For people with diabetes, measuring glucose levels several times a day is a vital obligation to properly manage their disease, as well as control the doses of insulin they need.Pricing several times a day is not a dish of taste for anyone, so many patients tend to avoid so many punctures a day endangering their health.This new device has the solution: it is completely painless.
“Currently the tattoo sensor can easily survive for one day and therefore can be replaced.They are also very cheap, so they do not have much financial load for the patient, ”explains Amay Bandodkar, leader of the study.
Temporary tattoo has already been successfully tested in seven healthy patients between 20 and 40 years of age.According to the results, the device measured even more accurately the glucose levels of each patient than the classic digital puncture.Experts are working so that this innovative temporary tattoo for diabetics has “Bluetooth capabilities to send this information directly to the patient's doctor in real time or even store data in the cloud,” says Bandodkar.
The study has been published in the Science and Analytical Chemistry magazines.
