microchip implant

Subcutaneous electronic tag

A microchip implant is a small electronic device inserted under the skin, typically containing identification data that can be read by a scanner.

Pet microchips help reunite lost animals with owners.

In humans, implants can store medical information or grant access to secure systems: The company offered employees voluntary microchip implants to open doors and log into computers.

The technology raises privacy concerns about tracking and surveillance.
