Editor's Notes
About the size of a grain of rice, the VeriMed microchip contains a 16-digit unique ID number. Being a passive RFID microchip, it doesn’t actively send information to the reader but requires the reader to excite the microchip to relay the information. Despite many fears from people about being tracked, the VeriMed microchip does not have tracking capabilities. The microchip is pre-loaded in a sterile inserter and comes with instructions and registration materials.

The CDC reports that up to 10 percent of the population may be at risk for allergic reactions to medications, and that severe life threatening anaphylactic (allergic) reactions occur in about 30 per 100,000 persons each year. A simple patient recorded list of drug allergies and drugs, currently being taken, can help the physician unfamiliar with the patient to avoid serious life threatening allergic reactions or drug-drug interactions that could further complicate the patient's stay in the ER or in the Hospital. By simply knowing current medications, medical problems, prior surgeries, etc. expensive and unnecessary testing can be quickly avoided, thus speeding along the proper medical work up and successful treatment, saving time, saving money and saving lives.
