(Sorry i know some of these stories are late but i’m catching up slowly…)

We will be seeing alot more of this very soon.  Chips, chips everywhere…on you and now IN you.

Financial Times Reports:

“Patients who fail to pop pills on time could soon benefit from having a chip on their shoulder, under a ground-breaking electronic system being developed by Novartis, the Swiss pharmaceuticals group.

The company is testing technology that inserts a tiny microchip into each pill swallowed and sends a reminder to patients by text message if they fail to follow their doctors’ prescriptions.”
