Wireless Remote Drug-Releasing Microchip Implants On The Assembly Line
http://outcastradio.net/wireless-remote-drug-releasing-microchip-implants-on-the-assembly-line/
A pharma company with generic drugs meets microchip and biotech in a marriage of implantable devices that are shockingly close to the finish line of commercialization.
Deals were made. Money exchanged. Development in process this is actually going to happen.
Is this the next phase of The Singularity? The complete bypassing of pills, injections things that one actively chooses and takes to a passive acceptance of remote controlled wireless chips quietly and somehow pumping substance for up to 16 years? Or is it more public relations for the long-time push for the coming brain chip?
But first to roll out will probably be the wirelessly controlled birth-control implanted device backed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Rob Matheson of TechSwarm reports:
Earlier this month, MIT spinout Microchips Biotech partnered with a pharmaceutical giant to commercialize its wirelessly controlled, implantable, microchip-based devices that store and release drugs inside the body over many years.
Invented by Microchips Biotech co-founders Michael Cima, the David H. Koch Professor of Engineering, and Robert Langer, the David H. Koch Institute Professor, the microchips consist of hundreds of pinhead-sized reservoirs, each capped with a metal membrane
