Malaysian blood registry -- May 9, 2004
A National Thalassaemia Registry will be set up to keep track of Malaysians who carriers of this blood disorder so that marriage among them can be prevented.
Thalassaemia cases can be significantly reduced if we are able to identify the carriers and prevent one from marrying another," he said, adding that these couples have a 25 per cent chance of having a child born with this disease.

Israel proposes DNA database; handled by China-- Jan. 6, 2005
An Israeli proposal to establish an international DNA database raises the possibility that foreign nationals killed in the tsunami disaster may yet be identified.
Our delegation raised the proposition for a DNA database. All bodies [would be] sampled. All nations [would] contribute DNA of family members. Our initiative was accepted by all nations," Zadokadded.

All the samples are being transferred to China for DNA profiling, because China has facilities large enough to handle the task and offered to do it for free, Zadok said.

DNA Registry - May 9, 2004
In a White Paper published last year the Government asked the Human Genetics Commission and the National Screening Committee to consider the case for
screening every baby at birth and storing their genetic profile for future use.
The study has been given £3 million by the Wellcome Trust and the Medical Research Council to collect the DNA from 25 thousand parents and children and build up immortalised cell lines.
ALSPAC now has the biggest DNA bank from a carefully studied general population anywhere in the world.
As an increasing number of diseases are linked to particular genes or gene sequences, we will be able to target and tailor treatment better to offset their impact and even to avoid the onset of ill-health many years in advance."

Pre-screening for borderline risk
The Health Ministry has already started a cardiovascular risk factor screening programme, combined with diabetes risk factor and opportunistic screening in all its government hospitals and health centres nationwide.
Dr Zainal said when patients came with any form illness, they were also screened for hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, Impact Glucose Tolerance and weight.
"If they are found with any of the above problems, they are immediately put on medication and if found to be on borderline, they are sent for targeted programmes provided at the hospital or centres," he added.
At present, Dr Zainal said, they were focussing on monitoring and registering all diabetes cases besides developing a diabetes registry and a diabetes surveillance system.

HHS apoints Dr. DJ Brailer as health- info tech coordinator-- May 6, 2004
WASHINGTON, May 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Saying that "health information technology has the potential to greatly improve health care even as it yields huge savings," HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson today announced the appointment of
David J. Brailer, M.D., Ph.D., to serve as National Health Information Technology Coordinator.
This is a new position at HHS, created by President Bush last week to coordinate the
nation's health information technology efforts.

Secretary Thompson announced the appointment at a Secretarial Summit on health information technology (IT) convened in Washington today.
At the summit, Thompson also announced several new accomplishments in developing standards to help bring about electronic medical records and other health IT benefits

Networking :
HHS and other federal agencies will adopt 15 additional standards agreed to by the Consolidated Health Informatics (CHI) initiative to allow for the electronic exchange of clinical health information across the federal government.

Vocabulary:
HHS also announced that, starting today, the medical vocabulary known as SNOMED CT can be downloaded for free for use in the United States through HHS' National Library of Medicine. SNOMED CT, created by the College of American Pathologists, is a key clinical language standard needed for a national health information infrastructure.

Standards and guidelines
With HHS support, the voluntary international health standards-setting organization known as Health Level 7 (HL7) today is announcing a favorable vote on a functional model and standards for the electronic health record. The model is a significant step toward establishing nationwide guidelines for electronic health records.

The SYSTEM .....
Today's actions move the nation closer to a national, interoperable health information infrastructure that would allow quick, reliable and secure access to information needed for patient care, while protecting patient privacy.
Such a system would allow a doctor or health care provider to access an always- up-to-date electronic health record of a patient who has agreed to be part of the system, regardless of when and where the patient receives care. President Bush last week established a national goal of assuring that most Americans have electronic health records within 10 years.

VeriChip to add medical information .... VeriMed --October 29, 2003
"FDA Ruled Last October [2002] That VeriChip is a Regulated Medical Device:
"When Marketed to Provide Information to Assist in the Diagnosis or Treatment of Injury or Illness"

Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX) an advanced technology development company, announced today that a 510(k) application has been submitted to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking the agency's permission to market VeriChip's healthcare information applications in the United States.
About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world's first subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip designed for human use in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and, subject to FDA clearance, healthcare applications. Each VeriChip contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. Once inserted just under the skin in a brief outpatient "chipping" procedure, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye. http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20031029005405&newsLang=en

When adsx was verichip-the-unique-identifier (number only) it did NOT need FDA approval, because it was merely a number with no information.

But now they will add information to the chip which is also medical information and now they need FDA approval. It now becomes "VeriMed". Same VeriChip, only more information. (October 2003) 

In tandem with databases
So far, Reuters has issued one correction on the article, changing its description of VeriChip from "a scannable device worn under the skin containing a number corresponding to a separate database of personal information" to "a scannable device worn under the skin and encrypted with personal information like medical records and emergency contacts." Reuters said it made the correction to make it clear the chip itself does not contain personal information.

The Medical Database
"If they put medical records in, we would be concerned about the use," the FDA's medical device chief Dr. David Feigal was quoted in the Washington Post. Feigal also made it clear that the agency could step in at that point. "If someone is unconscious in an emergency room and implanted medical records are outdated, that could be more dangerous than if doctors had no information." Feigal urged companies considering health-related implants to consult with the FDA.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Sales of an identification chip intended to be implanted in a person's body will resume immediately now that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its review of the device, the chip's maker Applied Digital Solutions Inc. announced Tuesday.
The company made headlines this spring after a Florida family became the first ever to be implanted with VeriChip. The device, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin and works by emitting a radio frequency that transmits a unique verification number.
The company says the chips could eventually replace medical alert bracelets and cards of the sort that alert emergency medical personnel to conditions such as allergies.

SOLUSAT MEDICA :VeriChip's Healthcare Applications in Mexico ---- July 17, 2003
Live "Chipping" Procedure for Local Media and Testimonials from VeriChip Users
SOLUSAT MEDICA is reaching out to private and public hospitals in Mexico to incorporate VeriChip scanners in their emergency facilities. SOLUSAT is also holding discussions to build commercial and strategic relationships in Mexico to demonstrate the benefits of using all applications of VeriChip's innovative personal verification technology. According to SOLUSAT, discussions are underway for the donation of scanners to institutions such as the Red Cross and the Mexican Alzheimer's Association and several other public organizations.

Commenting on the launch of SOLUSAT MEDICA in Mexico, Antonio Aceves, Director General of SOLUSAT, said: "Without a shadow of a doubt, this application will give VeriChip users confidence and peace of mind. In a matter of seconds, it provides extremely important information in the event of an emergency and regardless of the condition of the patient, information that could mean the difference between life and death. And it doesn't matter if the patient has a prior medical condition or not, because we're all susceptible to accidents and health crises."

In April 2003, a representative of VeriChip Corporation outlined VeriChip's many potential healthcare-related applications at the IDTechEx "Smart Tagging in Healthcare" conference in London (for more information, visit www.idtechex.com/healthcare.html). Subject to FDA regulation in the United States, these applications include:

Medicine on a Microchip... 3 chips employed (drug,controller and sensor chips)
Take two microchips and call me in six months."
In about five years, though, microchips might replace injections as the preferred method of delivering the biological drugs (usually proteins) used to treat hepatitis C and many forms of cancer. They may also be used to deliver hormones, pain medications, and insulin.

Today, researchers are in the early stages of putting medicine on chips—and the implications are weighty. For example, MicroChips, a start-up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is building a chip with tiny channels etched on the back, each of which contains a minute amount of a drug. The channels are sealed with a fine layer of gold. When hit with a small electric charge, the gold dissolves, releasing the drug. The chip would be implanted under the skin or, for gastrointestinal ailments, swallowed.

"It's very much like a traditional chip," explains MicroChips president Dr. John T. Santini, Jr.
"Our current devices are made out of silicon and have circuitry."

The challenge lies in controlling when the electric charge is delivered. To resolve this, Santini's group would implant another chip, a controller to deliver the electric charge. That chip might hold a preprogrammed schedule of drug delivery, or it might take orders from a remote for on-demand delivery of pain medication. MicroChips also hopes to build a sensor chip that, once implanted, would constantly test the bloodstream and tell the controller when medications are needed

Carl Grove, president of iMEDD in Columbus, Ohio, is leading his company to develop a similar microchip with a polymer coating that could treat heart disease, diabetes, and various forms of cancer.

The medication chip, by providing an efficient and economical way of delivering volatile drugs directly to parts of the body that need them, opens up new possibilities for biological drugs and could change the direction of drug research.
.http://www.pcmag.com/print_article/0,3048,a=7668,00.asp

Implantable Microchip Dispenses Drugs
Santini's company, MicroChips, is developing a fingernail-size microchip that he hopes will someday replace injectable drugs and complicated medicine regimens. The microchip could be implanted under the skin to deliver drugs to a patient suffering from a chronic disease.

"The microchip delivery implant is a silicon substrate that has a number of little reservoirs in it. We fill this with drug. We seal those reservoirs and then we implant them in the body," explained Santini, the chief scientific officer and president of the Boston-based biotech company.

The drugs can be released into the bloodstream by applying a small voltage, by preprogramming the chips, or through a wireless telemetry method with the aid of a computer and software. http://www.techtv.com/news/scitech/story/0,24195,3389706,00.html

Controlled Drug-Release MicroChip.... Feb. 28-2002
[Brave New World..."soma,soma,soma ? ]
"We've developed a microchip that has the ability to store a large number of drugs or chemicals, control the time at which release begins, and control the rate at which the chemicals are released, all without moving parts. The microchip could be integrated with a tiny power supply and controlled by a microprocessor, remote control, or biosensors. This microchip technology has potential uses in areas such as medical diagnostics, chemical detection, combinatorial chemistry, drug delivery, cosmetics, and entertainment."

MEMS-- micro-electro mechanical systems device---January 23, 2002
Researchers are testing an implantable microsensor that can send data to a hand-held receiver outside the body, alerting doctors to a potential medical crisis, without using any wires or batteries.

They call it a micro-electro mechanical systems device, or MEMS. The doctor would be able to check the condition of a patient's heart, for example, by holding the receiver near the patient -- a version of point and click -- rather than putting him through a costly CAT scan or surgery. The patient could even monitor his condition at home.

The MEMS has been adapted to monitor blood pressure levels in the organs or blood clots of patients with heart failure or with abdominal aortic aneurysm, an abnormal widening of the aorta. If it works, it could provide doctors with an easier way to catch serious problems.
"If we can reduce invasive procedures, hospital visits, we will have done (patients) a great service," Yadav says.

"We care about the pressure, but we only have the means to measure the size and indirectly interpret the pressure," says Ohki. "It's like a balloon. If the balloon is bigger, you think it's going to pop, but what really matters is the pressure

Human Brain Implant chip -- April 13, 2004
Cyberkinetics Inc. of Foxboro, Mass., has received Food and Drug Administration approval to begin a clinical trial in which four-square-millimeter chips will be placed beneath the skulls of paralyzed patients.
If successful, the chips could allow patients to command a computer to act - merely by thinking about the instructions they wish to send.
The company is far from the only research group active in the field. An Atlanta company, Neural Signals, has conducted six similar implants as part of a clinical trial and hopes to conduct more. But for now, its device contains relatively simple electrodes, and experts say Cyberkinetics will be the first to engage in a long-term, human trial with a more sophisticated device placed inside a patient's brain. It hopes to bring a product to market in three to five years.
A number of research groups have focused on brain-computer links in recent years

It's misleading to say such technologies "read minds," said Dr. Jonathan Wolpaw, of the New York State Department of Health, who is conducting similar research. Instead, they train minds to recognize a new pattern of cause and effect, and adapt.
