Top 10 Implantable Wearables Soon To Be In Your Body

#1

Well last year an artist named Anthony Antonellis had inserted an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Chip in his arm, so that he can store and transfer art to his handheld smartphone. Same way the people at Autodesk are experimenting with a system that can display images through artificial skin. Whereas some scientists are working on eye implants that let an image be captured with a blink and transmitted to any local storage.

Cyber implants can be injected into a person's body and directly connect it to a smartphone app that helps in monitoring and treating the disease. Artificial pancreases are created in order to maintain blood sugar levels for diabetic patients and capsule size circuits to monitor fat levels in obese people. Other medical concerns will be soon addressed by these implant & phone initiatives.

Using technologies like NFC Chips, Artificial Skin Mesh of computer wires and micro-particles, researchers across the globe are creating implants that can unlock vehicles and work as security codes. Just point your finger towards the car to unlock or use your palms as keys to doors.
Motorola has partnered with VivaLnk to launch the Digital Tattoo, an NFC-based skin tag that unlocks your phone with a quick tap.

Question: How are you going to power all these implants in the body?

Answer: Through Meltable bio-batteries.
These batteries can generate power inside the body and transfer it wirelessly where needed and then melt. Scientists are also working on how to use body's own glucose to generate power for implantables.

Gone will be the days of missing child cases and duplicate identities, if this technology is implemented or should I say ‘Implanted'! :p (Okay, that was a bad one.) But if everyone is implanted with these chips, then everyone & everything can be tracked. Now is it a good thing or a bad? Well, you be the judge.

Professor Robert Langer from Massachusetts Institute of Technology says that they can already make skin for patients with burns or skin ulcers, and others like corneas and liver are in trials. Soon we will be able to do this for all tissues.

It's amazing to see how things are evolving so fast and all that was a dream or a fantasy yesterday is becoming reality now. Hope we soon get to have hands on experience of any technological advancement that we spoke of above.
