Microchips in medication to monitor patients

Holy crap.  But move on down to line two…

Other microchips could also be placed under the skin…

and more:

Separately, a Silicon Valley company called Proteus Biomedical is developing what it calls the Raisin system of microchipped pills to help to tackle the problems of patients forgetting or refusing to take medicines.

Each pill contains a microchip that can send data to a receiver in a patch or under the skin. This can then be analysed to alert carers if a pill has not been taken.
