Most of this \u2018E-tattoo\u2019 technology has focused on the healthcare applications, such as measuring <b>blood pressure<\/b>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/science\/3dprinted-electronic-glove-could-help-keep-your-heart-beating-for-ever-9166004.html\">\u2018gloves\u2019<\/a> helping to <b>regulate the heart<\/b>. However, Google is looking to commercialize a device that could act as a lie detector by measuring differentiating electric levels given off by reactions taking place within the skin- known as a \u2018Galvanic response\u2019. It is theorized that <b>anyone who is telling a lie would have a different galvanic response than a truthful individual<\/b>. How this technology would be used is as yet unclear but surely does raise some interesting questions.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is Google developing this?<\/h2>\n<p>The lie detector functionality is actually only one use of the product that Google is developing. The company submitted a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/patents\/US20130297301\">patent<\/a> request in 2012 for an \u2018E-tattoo\u2019 which would be worn on the user\u2019s throat and that would transmit voice signals to the user\u2019s phone, allowing them to make and answer calls as well as have a conversation over the phone <b>without ever having to physically touch their device<\/b>. It is said that this device is aimed at people who often need both hands to do their jobs, such as emergency service personnel, allowing them to relay real-time information whilst continuing to be able to manage the situation effectively.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\" style=\"margin-top:20px;\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4oqf--GMNrA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>How would this affect individual privacy?<\/h2>\n<p>Essentially the way all E-tattoos work is that they gather real-time information on the user, such as:<br \/>\n\u25cf Heart rate<br \/>\n\u25cf Blood pressure<br \/>\n\u25cf Blood sugar levels<\/p>\n<p>The ultra personal data collected by the E-tattoo is then beamed into the air where the user\u2019s chosen device can access it. The problem with this is that anybody else with a properly configured device could also access this information without the user\u2019s consent. Another worry is that insurance companies may also get their hands on the data and <b>use it to calculate insurances premiums<\/b>. So whilst any technology that can help people and healthcare professionals look after themselves, it also raises a number of privacy concerns that will have to be properly addressed before the technology can be widely used.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research into wearable technology has been going on for decades, but it is only recently that this research has started to bear fruit.
