VeriChip ID will soon include temperature sensors

April 28, 2005 : Digital Angel ( animals ) and VeriChip ( humans ) plan :
to initiate clinical studies on an enhanced version of its Verichip implantable radio frequency identification device. The enhanced product will include temperature sensing capabilities in addition to its existing identification capabilities. The companies will retain an independent internationally recognized research institute to conduct the trials. Based upon the results of that study, Digital Angel plans to pursue the necessary regulatory procedures to obtain clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to distribute such a transponder in the United States for human use. In October of 2004, Digital Angel received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to distribute a transponder for patient identification applications
The Verichip with temperature sensing capabilities will allow a transponder to provide a unique identification code as well as to provide the temperature of the individual.

At first, Digital Angel put out temperature sensors for animals called
"Bio-Thermo" www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/biothermo.html

Then they put out temperature sensors for humans called
"Thermo-Life" www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/biosensors.html

Now they plan on  combining the temperature sensors with the VeriChip ID

Notice the phrase "unique code" rather than their usual phrase "unique identifier".
