Looks like I'm the only one, but I think this is pretty nifty. Then again I had someone cut open my hand to shove in an rfid chip 10 years ago, which wasn't everybody's cup of tea either.
What I'm most worried about is battery life. If I have to recharge every week (or more), I would give up after a few weeks. Also, what risk is there snagging this thing on your shirt when you get dressed, or crushing it under a barbell when working out? Doing any sort of fighting sport would be impossible too I guess, even if you could take the actual sensor/vibrating thing out.
- falcolas 10y agoThe battery situation worries me too. Then again, I've been OK with taking off a phone/watch and putting it on a charger on a regular basis for a few years now, so one more item wouldn't be a huge burden.

- roel_v 10y agoOh no, I'm not that deep into it. I wasn't even of the first wave of rfid implanters (now that I think about it, it wasn't 10 years ago, more 6 or 7).
- logfromblammo 10y agoIf I'm ever going to have permanent implants, it's going to need to generate electricity from my blood. http://news.mit.edu/2012/glucose-fuel-cell-0612 http://news.mit.edu/2012/glucose-fuel-cell-0612 Many bonus points if the implant's power cell can mimic actual exercise.
