Responsive holograms that change colour in the presence of certain compounds are being developed into portable medical devices for monitoring conditions such as diabetes, cardiac function or hormone imbalance.
The researchers at the University of Cambridge are also developing a prototype smartphone-based test suitable for both clinical and home testing of diabetes.
The technique uses an absorbent material known as a hydrogel, which is similar to that used in contact lenses and impregnated with tiny particles of silver.
