My personal anecdata, I would like to share: I developed blood pressure problems last year (140-160/85-95). My doc told me I needed to start meds. I didn't want to though. So in January, I started reducing my Caloric intake. I lost 7 kilos, down from 83kg to 76kg (I am 1.70m tall). My blood pressure went down to (110-120/60-75). No meds required. Just ate less.

Oh God, you just reminded me I should really get to it. I'm also 1,70 and been averaging 84kg for the last few years, I'm in my mid-30's btw... Losing weight is so hard when you have zero passion for sport and nutrition... I need to get one of them fitness trackers, people seems to praise them quite a lot.
They are so great to just learn how your body reacts to stuff, and how long your walks are. Not to mention how much fun the historical data can be.
For any biohackers out there with electronics and sensor skills, there is another easier, cheaper viable way to continuously monitor blood pressure: earlobe There have been some academic experiments with good results but apparently manufacturers don't believe consumers would accept it. Athletes and elderly sure would.
What is an electronic tattoo? Based on the phrasing in this article I can't determine if this is a wearable device that magnitizes to some weird tattoo or the device is the "tattoo"
Looks like you're putting a super thin layer of graphene on the skin, here's a tweet I found from one of the people working on this mentioned in the article. https://mobile.twitter.com/dr_kireev/status/1385428450719145...
William Gibson 40 years ago: "M-G employees above a certain level were implanted with advanced microprocessors that monitored mutagen levels in the bloodstream. Gear like that would get you rolled in Night City, rolled straight into a black clinic." PS M-G refers to Mitsubishi-Genentech

On an unrelated note, I wish that author's who aren't Gibson would write novels set in Night City. I love Gibson, but often find his stuff hard to follow, and would love an escapist level novel set in a Gibsonian setting.
There seems to be a device needed that "shoots electricity" in order to get the reading. This kinda removes the benefits of not using a cuff....
I never considered doing a tattoo, but this looks like a great idea. As for decorative tattoos, I'll wait for e-paper version, so I can change it when I want to. And yes I know this beats the purpose of a tattoo being something permanent, but, if I ever do something like that, I'll be forever an Etch-a-Sketch
That would be cool but can I ask what makes you think it's something that will ever actually exist? Or do you just mean that regardless of whether or not it ever exists, it's the only thing that would result in you getting a tattoo?
Sounds feasible, but I’m not sure about the toxicity of the e-ink capsules.
