Making sure that patients take thier drugs on time and take all of thier medication is a concern of doctors everywhere. MicroCHIPS Inc seems to have an innovative, though intrusive solution. Using commands sent wirelessly to an implanted drug 'box' in the patient, they can dispense the drugs on command. No mention however is thier signals are subject to the FCC part 15 rules. You know, the ones that say that the device must accept interference. An errant cell phone transmission in the future could have unintended consequences.
