  • Publication number: 20170232193
    Abstract: A diagnostic transceiver assembly includes a diagnostic unit that may be implanted into a human body. The diagnostic unit monitors physiological functions of the human body to include heart rate and blood serum levels. The diagnostic unit generates a diagnostic sequence when the diagnostic unit detects blood serum levels outside of a trigger ratio. A dispensing unit may be implanted into the human body. The dispensing unit is in fluid communication with the human circulatory system. The dispensing unit contains insulin. The dispensing unit releases a measured amount of the insulin into the human circulatory system in response to the diagnostic sequence.

  • Patent number: 5629678
    Abstract: Apparatus for tracking and recovering humans utilizes an implantable transceiver incorporating a power supply and actuation system allowing the unit to remain implanted and functional for years without maintenance. The implanted transmitter may be remotely actuated, or actuated by the implantee. Power for the remote-activated receiver is generated electromechanically through the movement of body muscle. The device is small enough to be implanted in a child, facilitating use as a safeguard against kidnapping, and has a transmission range which also makes it suitable for wilderness sporting activities. A novel biological monitoring feature allows the device to be used to facilitate prompt medical dispatch in the event of heart attack or similar medical emergency. A novel sensation-feedback feature allows the implantee to control and actuate the device with certainty.
