A microchip the size of a dust mite which can be seen only with a microscope could be the next big thing in medical science.
So far, researchers have been working with mice, implanting the tiny computer chips into their bodies via an injection in their muscles.
“Such tiny chips could also be implanted in the human body, and then communicate measured information and data wirelessly through ultrasound,” Interesting Engineering reported. “As the device stands, it can only measure body temperature, but it could eventually also monitor respiratory function, glucose levels, and blood pressure …
In a post-coronavirus world, it’s not difficult to see the immediate benefits of mass injections of benign devices capable of monitoring your temperature. One day, something like this could be an early warning system to officials of a brewing pandemic.”
