The world's first human Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) implant
Verichip, the developer and patent-holder of the trend-setting medical microchip technology, says that the world's first human Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) implant helps monitor more than 2,000 people worldwide.
This is an interesting piece of news but it also raises security issues. Citizens who are already resentful of increasing attempts by governments everywhere to monitor them, are going to be alarmed by this.
However, Verichip says that the RFID impant technology helps doctors track high-risk patients suffering from serious diseases as diabetes, epilepsy and Alzheimer's. Patients with chronic heart conditions can also be easily monitored.
