George Skidmore is designing silicon chips and micro machines that are sensors that can be ingested or implanted in the body to collect health information. These sensors allow health monitoring but how individuals choose to use them and protect privacy will be a personal choice. Implantable sensors exist for various applications and ingestible sensor pills can also transmit information. New sensors are being developed for conditions like diabetes and heart disease monitoring.

2. Abstract
• George Skidmore, Ph. D., whois a Physicistworking in micro
machines and nanotechnology, is designing a silicon chip and
micro machines which are sensors which are admitted to the
body to acquire health information, data about what
medication you are taking and when you tookit.The sensors
are available to protect your health, but choosing how to use
them and how to protect the privacy of your data will be a
matter of personal responsibility.
Implantable sensors exist for a number of applications, If you
or your doctor feel your health is at risk, I suspect you’d
accept these inside your body. If your health feels not at risk
however, this could be too invasive for your liking.

3. Abstract
• Ingestible sensor chips are an idea a little easier for most
people,Here are three examples. Camera pills, which pass
through your digestive tract taking pictures and transmitting.
You can find the Internet movies of Lance Armstrong downing
the CorTemp thermometer pill from HQInc. This pill travels
through your digestive tract wirelessly transmitting your core
body temperature. A third ingestible, a wireless sensor pill
from Proteus Digital Health does something simple, but vitally
important: it reports that you’ve swallowed it. This pill, coupled
to a wearable patch, which is coupled to a smartpone, When
the pill hits your stomach, it transmits to your phone that you
took the pill, and so this informs your doctor.
