If you need a reminder this morning that we totally live in the future already, here it is. Swiss researchers have unveiled a 14 millimeter long implantable lab on a chip that can monitor blood chemistry in patients and use wireless signals to alert their doctors if anything looks amiss. It’s still in the early stages of development, but if it’s successful, the device could one day be used to monitor the progress of patients with chronic diseases, keep tabs on the results of chemotherapy in cancer patients, and even as an early warning system for heart attacks and strokes.
