New High Tech Tattoo can Collect Health and Other Biometric Data from Your Body

Chaotic Moon, a software development firm based in Austin, Texas, is working on a high-tech tattoo that can collect health and other biometric data from your body.

According to Chaotic Moon’s CEO Ben Lamm, the tattoo will be able to collect and upload health and informational data, much like Jawbone or the Apple Watch and send it to medical staff.

Now, Smartphone can be Your New Fitness Tracker
Experts developed a new system called BioPhone that can take your heart rate, breathing and other physiological measurements while it sits in your pocket.

‘Chaotic Moon, based out of Austin, is working on a high-tech tattoo that can collect health and other biometric data from your body. It functions much like Jawbone or the Apple Watch.’

“This is the new wearable. The future of wearables is biowearables. This is not something that can be easily removed like a Fitbit. It can be underneath a flack jacket, directly on the skin to be collecting this data and being reported back,” Lamm said.

The tattoo is temporary and washes off much like a temporary fashion tattoo. The wearable will have the ability to monitor body temperature. It will detect if someone is stressed based on sweat, heart rate and hydration level. Chaotic Moon is best known for fire-breathing drones and bitcoin earning fitness trackers, but Lamm said the current project was one of the most exciting his company has ever worked on.

“We get to do a lot of cool stuff at Chaotic Moon but with this we think there’s military applications for it, health applications for it and there are all kinds of opportunities around it,” Lamm added.
