Applied Digital Solutions Introduces Verichip, a Miniaturized, Implantable Identification Device With a Variety of Medical, Security and Emergency Applications
PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec.
19, 2001--Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - news), an advanced digital technology development company, announced today that it has developed a miniaturized, implantable identification chip -- called VeriChip(TM) -- that can be used in a variety of medical, security and emergency applications.
How VeriChip Works
VeriChip is an implantable, 12mm by 2.1mm radio frequency device about the size of the point of a typical ballpoint pen. Each VeriChip will contain a unique identification number and other critical data. Utilizing an external scanner, radio frequency energy passes through the skin energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the identification number and other data
contained in the VeriChip. The scanner will display the identification number, but the VeriChip data can also be transmitted, via telephone or the Internet, to an FDA compliant, secure data-storage site. It will then
be accessible by authorized personnel. Inserting the VeriChip device is a simple procedure performed in an outpatient, office setting. It requires only local anesthesia, a tiny incision and perhaps a small adhesive bandage.
Sutures are not necessary.
Medical Device Identification
Hundreds of thousands of medical devices are surgically implanted into patients every year. Examples of these life-saving and life-enhancing devices include pacemakers, artificial joints, orthopedic hardware, heart valves, and medication pumps. After insertion, these devices often require adjustment, repair, replacement, or even recall. VeriChip, inserted subdermally just above the implanted medical device, provides patients, medical providers, and manufacturers with a rapid, secure and non-invasive method for obtaining medically critical information about
the device. VeriChip is a ready source of data about the patient's name and condition as well as the medical device's original components, required
settings and other essential parameters. Future applications may include full medical record archival/retrieval for emergency medical care.
Emergency or Security-related Identification Personal identity verification technology
has gained considerable interest recently. A great deal of focus has been trained on so-called ``biometric'' technologies - which identify individuals by their unique biological or physical characteristics, such as fingerprints, voiceprints, retina characteristics, and face recognition points. VeriChip, by contrast, relies on imbedded, tamper-proof, microchip technology, which allows for non-invasive access to identification, medical and other critical
data. Use of advanced VeriChip technology means that the threat of theft, loss, duplication or counterfeiting of data is substantially diminished or eliminated. Specific application areas include: enhancement of present forms of identification, search and rescue, and various law enforcement
and defense uses.
Commenting on the announcement, Richard
J. Sullivan, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital Solutions stated: ``With VeriChip, Applied Digital has taken another significant step in developing
leading-edge personal security technologies for a rapidly evolving marketplace. VeriChip joins Digital Angel(TM) and Thermo Life(TM) in our repertoire of breakthrough technologies. All of these are designed specifically to save lives, enhance personal security and improve quality of life. We're looking forward to working with the medical community and other potential
partners to bring VeriChip to market as quickly as possible.''
About Digital Angel(TM)
Digital Angel represents the first-ever
combination of advanced biosensor technology and Web-enabled wireless telecommunications
linked to Global Positioning Systems (GPS). By utilizing advanced biosensor capabilities, Digital Angel will be able to monitor key body functions - such as temperature and pulse - and transmit that data, along with accurate location information, to a ground station or monitoring facility. Digital
Angel Corporation has announced a proposed merger with Medical Advisory Systems. For more information on Digital Angel, visit http://www.digitalangel.net.
About Thermo Life(TM)
In November of 2001, Applied Digital
Solutions created a wholly owned subsidiary called Advanced Power Solutions, Inc. (APSI). This new unit will further develop, market and license Thermo Life(TM), a proprietary, thermoelectric generator powered by body heat. Thermo Life is intended to provide a miniaturized power source for a wide range of consumer electronic devices, including attachable or implantable
medical devices, wristwatches and other consumer devices. The Company estimates that the potential marketplace for Thermo Life exceeds $30 billion. About Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.
Applied Digital Solutions is an advanced
digital technology development company that focuses on a range of early warning alert, miniaturized power sources and security monitoring systems combined with the comprehensive data management services required to support them.

Viesteissä lukee aluksi kirjoittaja se ja se. Nimimerkki Hevoinen... kopioit tekstejä palstalle, milloin mistäkin, eli et todennäköisesti ole edes tekstien alkuperäinen kirjoittaja.
Tai jos jotain ylitsevuotavan merkittävää oletkin löytänyt netin ihmeellisestä verkosta, niin käännä ne jutut ainakin härmäksi, ihan vain kohteliaisuuden vuoksi. Nythän saattaa olla että joku meistä palstalaisista ei näet hiffaa kaikkia merkityksiä mään, kiitos etukäteen ja papukaijamerkki ts teet parannuksen!
Copypasteeraus on liian helppoa, eikä siihen voi netin kautta luottaa pätkääkään, tai ei ainakaan pitäisi voida, en minä ainakaan luota.
täläinen kielillä puhuminen on tapahtunut? Onko
kukan kyennyt tulkitsemaan?
