One of the most frustrating aspects of dealing with a chronic illness, such as diabetes or lupus, is the need to test your body constantly to make sure you're healthy. MicroCHIPS is looking to alleviate that with a new device that's implanted under the skin of a patient. The “chip,” about the size of a dime, senses changes in body chemistry and releases medicine when needed. It can also be remotely activated to drop medication as well.

Remotely activated medication? Sounds like a chance for TERRORISM! EVERYONE PANIC D:

...Seriously, though, it sounds like a good idea. I know a couple people that have diabetes who'd probably be interested in something like this.
