Microchip Implants: Revolutionizing Medical Information Access or Privacy Concerns?

The video discusses a small chip, slightly larger than a grain of rice, that can be implanted under the skin. This chip, which requires no stitches and takes less than 20 minutes to implant, could transform how doctors access patient information. Encased in a glass capsule and treated with Bio Bond, the chip remains dormant until activated by a scanner. It contains no medical records, only a security code that allows doctors to access a database with patient information. Despite its potential, privacy advocates worry about confidentiality risks. To promote its use, the chip's makers will distribute free scanners to trauma centers.
