Biochips are small computer chips that can be implanted under the skin for identification purposes. They work using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate between the chip and a reader. Over 7 million animals and 6 million medical devices implanted in humans already contain biochips. While biochips increase diagnosis speed and aid identification, their widespread adoption faces challenges regarding privacy, initial costs, and addressing chip failures. Proponents argue biochips will soon replace physical wallets and enable new forms of commerce requiring chip-based identification.

5. •The biochip technology was originally developed in 1983 for
monitoring fisheries, it’s use now includes, over 300 zoos, pets,
monitoring lab animals, fisheries, endangered wildlife, automobiles,
hazardous waste, and humans.
•Biochips are "silently" inching into humans. For instance, at least 6
million medical devices, such as artificial body parts (prosthetic
devices),chin implants, etc., are implanted in people each year. And
most of these medical devices are carrying a "surprise" guest —
A BIOCHIP.
• To date, over 7 million animals have been "chipped.

7. •The current, in use, biochip implant system is actually a fairly simple
device.
•Today’s, biochip implant is basically a small (micro) computer chip,
inserted under the skin, for identification purposes.
•The biochip system is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
system, using low-frequency radio signals to communicate between
the biochip and reader.

8. What is RFID?
• RFID ….. radio frequency
identification
• It is the use of an object (referred to as
an RFID tag) incorporated into a
product, animal or person for the
purpose of identification and tracking
using radio waves.

9. RFID
• RFID tags contain 2 parts:-
a) integrated circuit for storing and processing
information, modulating and
demodulating a radio frequency signal.
b) antenna for receiving and transmitting signal

10. RFID
Three types of tags
Active RFID tags…. it contains a battery and
transmit signals autonomously.
Passive RFID tags …. it contains no battery require
external source to provoke signal transmission.
Battery assisted passive…. same as active but have
significant high range.

11. Implementation Of RFID In Biochip
A biochip is
complete when
there is
TRANSPONDER
(the chip)
 READER /
SCANNER
11

12. TRANSPONDER
•Computer Chip: Stores
the unique ID number
•Antenna Coil: Primitive
Radio antenna to receive
and send signals
•Tuning Capacitor:
Charged by the small
(1/1000 of Watt) signal
sent by the reader
•Glass Capsule: Made of
biocompatible material
such as soda lime glass,
hermetically (air-tight)
sealed, covered with
Polypropylene polymer
12

13. READER/ SCANNER
•Transmits a small signal
•Charges the tuning
capacitor
•ID number transmitted
by the transponder

16. Advantages of Biochips
● Increases the speed of diagnosis of
diseases
● It is used for the identification purpose
● It can be used to locate missing and
kidnapped people
● In cases when a natural disasters occurs it
helps to locate people easily 16

17. Disadvantages of biochips
● Initial implementation cost is high
● lack of privacy ,a less powerful eye
compared to god is watching the user
all the time
● If at any time the biochip fails it’s a
challenging question that still puzzles
scientists
17

18. SUMMARY
● Biochips is going to set the new trend in
Medicine ,communication and
identification
● Soon will be commercially used, where
there would be no more buying or selling
unless with a BIOCHIP
