Microneedle patch monitors biomarkers

Caption

Researchers have developed a microneedle patch to monitor a range of health biomarkers without drawing blood or relying on batteries or external devices. In proof-of-concept testing with synthetic skin, the researchers demonstrated that the patches could collect biomarker samples in as little as 15 minutes.
