It may also be one of the most controversial. It is a microchip implanted under a person’s skin called the VeriChip, and is then scanned with a special reader device to reveal important medical information about the person. The Florida-based company, Applied Digital, makes the VeriChip and hopes that the implant will revolutionize how doctors obtain medical information, mainly in emergency situations.

RDIF tags have been around for over 50 years, although many of them are larger, battery powered and actively transmit data carried on their chips. Over the last decade, smaller, cheaper passive chips have been developed that only release information when scanned and these chips are now rdif, information, medical, chips, people, verichip, tags, device, been, already, scan, implanted, privacy, one, implant, digital, about, track, technology, radio, person, new, microchip, identification, fda, emergency, different, applied, years, using, under, security, said, risks, records
