Chip implants are moving from sci-fi movies to reality. A recent study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine says that the era of chip implantation is getting closer and closer to our lives. For example, a patient with osteoporosis recently implanted a chip from the waist, and the drug in the chip was able to remotely control activation. Fortunately, this test showed no side effects for the patient in the case of releasing the correct dose.
A US company has developed a way to control contraception through remote chips, and is expected to be officially launched in 2018. Interestingly, more and more people seem to be resistant to implanted chips. A survey shows that a quarter of Australians don't mind implanting chips under the skin to make payments. Perhaps in the near future, humans will become smarter and healthier with the help of implanted chips.
Hand brush access control
The Swedish team of Biohacking Group has developed a chip that can emit radio waves, identify specific targets and read and write relevant data. Recently, a company in Stockholm, Epicenter, implanted the chip on the back of the employee's hand. When entering and leaving the door, the door can be opened by hand back, and it can print, take a bus, and so on. Epicenter founder Felicio is very optimistic about the market prospects of this technology. He said, "It doesn't matter how much pain is installed to install an RFID. Just like an injection, it can be installed in a few seconds."
RFID (radio frequency) chips can store data and also support wireless transmission of NFC (Near Field Communication Technology). Just swipe your phone and gently scan the information stored in the chip, or save new information. In the "life cycle" of the entire chip, the write operation can exceed 100,000 times, and the storage capacity is as high as 1G, so there is no need to worry about the trouble of replacing it after a while. The disadvantage of the current use of ID card type access control systems is that the security is poor. If a company needs multiple access control, the setup is quite troublesome. Relatively speaking, the implanted chip has the characteristics of passive, contact-free and easy to communicate, making it easier and safer to use.
　 Contraceptive chip
The US company MicroCHIPS has developed a contraceptive method controlled by a remote chip that contracepts by releasing trace amounts of hormones into the bloodstream. The contraceptive chip can be used for up to 16 years after being implanted under the skin, such as the buttocks, upper arm area or abdomen. If a woman wants to conceive, then she only needs to close the implant through the remote chip, just as simple as adjusting the TV volume with the remote control. This also eliminates the trouble of consulting a gynecologist.
According to MIT's test report, the MicroCHIPS implant is about 20 x 20 x 7 microns in size and works like a subcutaneous implanted contraceptive that releases a small amount of norgestrel (a contraceptive hormone) into the bloodstream every day. ) to achieve the purpose of contraception. Because this kind of implant is unconscious and automatic when releasing the contraceptive hormone, it has a very obvious advantage over the traditional contraceptive pill, because the latter only takes effect on time every day. If you forget to eat it any day, then it is very May be accidentally conceived.
However, this contraceptive technology still has shortcomings. MicroCHIPS needs to continue to improve and optimize before it is formally submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration. For example, in the aspect of chip encryption, it is necessary to continue testing to ensure the data security of the users. Moreover, whether MicroCHIPS will cause certain side effects to the users like subcutaneous implanted contraceptives remains to be further verified. These potential side effects include irregular bleeding, dizziness, nausea, and weight gain. If it goes well, the MicroCHIPS contraceptive device will be officially launched around 2018, leaving a long time to optimize its products.
