DARPA Calls for Implantable Biosensors
February 7th, 2012
Via: Wired:
Now, the Department of Defense’s far-out research agency is after the ultimate kind of Quantified Self: Soldiers with implanted body sensors that keep intimate tabs on their health, around the clock.
In a new call for research, Darpa is asking for proposals to devise prototype implantable biosensors. Once inserted under a soldier’s skin, Darpa wants the sensors to provide real-time, accurate measurements of “DoD-relevant biomarkers� including stress hormones, like cortisol, and compounds that signal inflammation, like histamine.
