FDA APPROVES INJECTING ID CHIPS IN PATIENTS
Applied Digital, maker of the implantable VeriChip for humans, recently announced
the FDA's approval of its technology for use in hospitals following a yearlong
review by the agency. The computer chips, which are about the size of a grain
of rice, are designed to be injected into the fatty tissue of the arm. Using
a special scanner, doctors and other hospital staff can fetch information from
the chips, such as the patient's identity, their blood type and the details
of their condition, in order to speed treatment. The company is targeting the
devices at patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, cardiovascular
disease and other conditions requiring complex treatment.
