We may not be able to prevent a medical emergency but we can prepare for one.
Recently, the FDA-cleared the first RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device) system that uses an implantable microchip for human use. When inserted just under your skin, the implantable microchip which is approximately the size of a grain of rice is barely felt. The RFID microchip contains a unique identification number that ER's, Ambulances and other medical personnel can scan immediately to identify and access your personal health information. Immediate retrieval of your medical information can facilitate appropriate treatment with less delay and save your life. |
