The painless injection, coming soon* to a patient near you, courtesy of HP! According to BBC news, HP has used its inkjet technology to develop a patch-like system for injecting medication painlessly. Instead of one big needle that goes deep into your skin, you get a patch containing 150 tiny needles that have much shallower penetration. The BBC news article has lots more information and diagrams of how it works.
As someone who utterly hates needles, I’m loving this idea. Lets just hope they don’t try to apply their inkjet cartridge business model to it!
