A letter of understanding as been executed between NATO high command, the U.S. Defense Department Office of Procurement and Silicon Valley-based Epitor to test Epitor’s new MicroView chip in active duty soldiers. The MicroView chip monitors the vital signs of soldiers in the field, as well as provides GPS positioning of individual troops. The Epitor MicroView chip is permanently implanted into the exoskeleton of a person’s skull. The chip used by the military is approximately 1.8 centimeters square and .2 millimeters thick.
U.S. Defense Dept spokesperson Major Dan Fields stated, “This technology will allow individual monitoring of general health as well as potential combat fatigue in soldiers, and allow early intervention when needed to ‘decompress’ the individual situation. An individual’s temperature, blood pressure as well as other bodily measurements will be easily monitored. An enhanced version, already developed will allow two-way bio-feedback functionality whereby physicians monitoring individuals can “push” appropriately prescribed brain wave patterns to relieve an individual’s stress or anxiety.”
One government official who wished to remain anonymous stated, “This has huge potential to roll out to the general public as a health monitoring tool. Individuals would give their personal physicians access to their chip’s code and physicians would be able to monitor their patients without actually seeing them. The most effective initial use would be in high-risk patients, starting at birth, high-risk occupations, and “sensitive” government employees, although I understand that this has already been implemented throughout most worldwide “intelligence” organizations.”
Epitor spokesperson Maureen Godwin stated that her company was already in negotiations with a major hospital chain to introduce the technology in high-risk newborns. Godwin stated, “I think that parents will see the overall value of the MicroView chip, not only for health-challenged children, but all children for the course of their lifetime. It brings parents a piece of mind from both a safety and a health standpoint.”
When asked if Epitor’s MicroView chip was being used by the world’s intelligence agencies, Godwin stated that the Epitor MicroView was leading edge technology and that more technologically enhanced products had already made it to the world stage. Godwin declined to state where and with whom.
Godwin did state that Epitor has tentatively reached an agreement with the world’s largest retain chain and that the Epitor MicroView chip could be available for the general public as early as January 2012.
Godwin concluded, “The Epitor MicroView product was conceived, developed and made in the U.S. with good old American know how and ingenuity.”
