If you don't fancy getting a piece of tech implanted under your skin, you could always go for the more softcore option of a temporary digital tattoo. Whilst biohackers try to steer clear of the "healthcare" label for their devices, so as to avoid stricter regulation, the technology has been modified to create a tattoo that can monitor everything from heart rate, electrical activity, sweating and more. From the data it gathers, it can assess your health and even flag up any potential problems that you should be aware of. Away from the DIY biohacking world, big companies like Motorola and Google have already filed patents for these tattoos, although these are mostly for the purposes of connecting ourselves to smartphones and gaming and even as a next-gen lie detector.
