Intuthuko kwezobuchwepheshe ngenxa yocwaningo nentuthuko yenza umhlaba we-tattoo ushintshe ngokushesha. Esikhathini esizayo esingekude kakhulu, ama-tattoos azoba ngaphezu nje kokuhlobisa nobuciko okugqokwa eminye imizimba. Kukhona amaphrojekthi aqhubekayo athokozisayo njengalawo abiziwe ama-tattoos angazwakala. Yebo, eminyakeni embalwa i- ama-tattoo angabheka impilo yethu. Ngale njongo kwazalwa I-DermalAbyss.
Ngokungafani namanye amaphrojekthi wezokwelapha nezobuchwepheshe ahlobene namathambo, esimweni seDermalAbyss sinayo eyiqiniso enemisebenzi ethakazelisa kakhulu. Vuliwe I-DermalAbyss abacwaningi abavela eMIT Media Lab naseHarvard Medical School bayasebenza. Bakwazile ukwenza inki ye-tattoo ephendula kumakhemikhali omzimba wethu. Okungukuthi, i- i-tattoo ingashintsha umbala ukukhombisa noma yiluphi ushintsho empilweni yethu.
Njengoba kuvezwe yilabo ababhekele le phrojekthi, umqondo oyinhloko usekelwe ekusetshenzisweni kwama-biosensor ngaphakathi kukayinki osetshenziselwa ukudweba tattoo. Lokhu kuvumela ukuphendula okucishe kube khona ngokushesha ekushintsheni kwempilo yeziguli ezithile ezinezimo ezithile ngaphandle kwesidingo sezifundo ezenziwa ngesandla ngezikhathi ezithile. Kuze kube manje, ngaphansi I-DermalAbyss se sithuthukise ama-inks amathathu nge-biosensors okuvumela ukukala izinguquko koketshezi oluphakathi kwesikhumba nokushintsha umbala ngokuya ngamazinga eglucose, sodium noma i-pH.
UKatia Vega, umcwaningi ophethe iphrojekthi eMIT Media Lab, uqinisekisa ukuthi lolu hlobo lwamathambo angabuka impilo yesiguli lungasebenza njengohlobo olusha lwesixhumi esibonakalayo, kuqede isidingo sezivivinyo ezijwayelekile. UVega akakwazanga ukunikeza usuku oluthile lokuthi imizimba elawulayo izokuvumela nini ukusetshenziswa kwalolu hlobo lwe-tattoo ezigulini zangempela. Kuzofanele balinde ukuthola izitifiketi ezifanele.
