VeriMed: RFID microchip for use in humans
VeriChip is a well know organization in the area of RFID chips for usage in humans. It is a very innovative company which has also developed a chip which can detect the N1H1 virus.
The microchip (HealthLink) is as small as rice and can be place underneath the skin in a human arm. It is the VeriMed chip (showed in the clip below) which can contain your medical history and can save lives in emergencies. At least that's what is being said in the promoclip.
For now many people will not even think about placing such technology in their body. But when we look at the future this will become more normal and even accepted. It is just a matter of time I think.
My question to you is (after watching the clip): would you place a chip in your body which contains your medical records? ? In the V.S. this becomes more and more normal.
In an emergency situation the VeriMed microchip is able to provide emergency healthcare professionals with vital information about you very rapidly to save time and reduce the potential for errors
VeriChip mentions the next advantages for the chip:
- 24/7 patient identification — VeriMed speaks for you when you are unable to do so
- Rapid, accurate medical information retrieval by healthcare professionals
- Connectivity between you, your primary physician, and your loved ones
- Discretion — no one will be able to tell that you have a VeriMed microchip
- Painless and reversible procedure
More information on how this chip (HealthLink) works can be found on the website of VeriChip (see also the demovideo)
