Techopedia Explains Microchip Implant

A microchip implant can be in the form of either an IC (integrated circuit) or an RFID (radio frequency identification) tag encapsulated in a silicon case with a size comparable to a grain of rice. They are used in not only humans, but also in pets for identification purposes. This implant typically contains a unique ID number that can be used to retrieve information contained in an external database, such as personal identification, medical history, medications, allergies and contact information.
