Patients will be fitted with a microchip in their shoulder to remind them to take their medicine, under a new scheme being developed by a drugs company.Older people will be given pills containing a harmless microchip that sends a signal to the chip in the shoulder when the pill is taken.But if the pill is not taken by the forgetful patient, the chip in the shoulder will then send a text to a carer or the patient to remind them.
That's a great idea, should cut down on the yelling at staff and throwing of mobile phones.
