Alzheimer’s patients, caregivers receiving VeriMed RFID chips
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets, WirelessCaring for those with Alzheimer’s could be getting a whole lot less stressful, as VeriChip has reportedly doled out 25 VeriMed RFID implantable microchips at the Alzheimer’s Community Care 2007 Alzheimer’s Educational Conference. Of course, these aren’t the first invasive chips that the company has crammed under folks’ skin for one reason or another, but these data packin’ devices are aiming to provide medical personnel “quick access to identification and medical records information in an emergency situation.” Interestingly, not much else was said about future rollouts beyond this small sample trial, but we can’t imagine these not showing up en masse (and in humans) once it gets the green light from regulators.
