Health-monitoring digital plaster

Well, it turns out the Japanese aren't the only ones interested in
monitoring everyone's health. British company Toumaz is currently developing a tiny electronic device meant to be embedded in ordinary plaster that includes sensors for monitoring health-related metadata such as blood pressure, temperature and glucose levels. The "digital plaster"
contains a Sensium silicon chip, powered by a tiny battery, which sends data via a cellphone or PDA to a central computer database. If the results show any worrisome signs, patients and doctors alike would be notified of the change in the data patterns. They also plan to add a motion sensor to the device so it could additionally serve in the role of
"granny monitor" by detecting things like falls or complete inactivity — which is perhaps a slightly more sensible idea than just chipping everything.
