Just a few days ago I noted the future of implants really is going to be medical sensors that use the same passive power and data transmission methods as passive RFID, and now I hear about these guys doing exactly that for glucose measurement. Not quite at the “lab on chip” level yet, but this is clearly a great first step in that direction.
Real time monitoring and logging
Probably the best thing about this tech is the ability to keep a running log in real-time. That kind of immediate and constant feedback gives people a whole different “set of eyes” when it comes to learning about their own bodies. Biorasis, the company that is developing this technology, has put together a video that runs through the implantation and utilization process. It’s very rudimentary, but gets the point across.
