Rumor has it Kodak is thinking about an “edible” RFID chip that patients would ingest.
The chip would be embedded in a wafer, which would in turn be covered in a substance that is both digestible and tasty, accourding to one blogger. That substance would need to dissolve slowly enough for doctors to “see” inside the patient’s body before the whole thing gets slurped up by your stomach’s ever-present hydrochloric acid.
Sounds a little sci-fi for us, but it’s an interesting application to ponder.
