What is "Bio-Thermo" ? ...... for animals; by Digital Angel

Thermal Biosensors for pets and people--- April 21, 2003
Now Digital Angel is poised to take the next step - chips that will not only identify an animal but
begin to tell how it feels. Earlier this year, Digital Angel won USDA and FDA approval to market the
Bio-Thermo microchip, which gauges an animal's body temperature. The company looks ahead to future biosensor chips that track an animal's hormonal changes, blood pressure and, eventually, disease.
"The idea is to unlock what's inside, essentially give them voices to tell us how they feel," Geissler said.

Referring to animal-numbering ID chip:
" The tiny, glass tube - with a microchip and antennae inside - is inserted just beneath an animal's skin
much like a vaccine injection. Its electronic circuitry operates only when it's scanned by a handheld device, which emits a low-frequency radio signal to activate the chip.

Referring to Bio-Thermo chip for animals:
The Bio-Thermo chip works the same way, except it transmits more information. Geissler likens it to a software program upgrading from 7.0 to 8.0.
"The product will talk back from inside the body of the animal and will say 'Hey, I'm Fluffy and my body temperature is 101 degrees Fahrenheit,'" Geissler said.
Digital Angel is already looking to expand to other physiological functions.

Timothy Metcalf, a veterinarian at Eagan Pet Clinic, said: "There are some breeds that are just predisposed to diseases. Could it monitor for abnormal enzymes that might indicate a cancer? A chronic-disease process? Wouldn't that be nice as opposed to exploratory surgeries or ultrasounds or MRIs?"
