Increases the speed of diagnosis of diseases
It is used for the identification purpose
It can be used to locate missing and kidnapped people
In cases when a natural disasters occurs it helps to locate people easily
2. NEXT GENERATION TECHONOLOGY
“A single electronic card may replace everything in your
wallet including. . .
• . . .your cash
•. . . your credit cards
•. . . your ATM card
•. . . your ID cards
•. . . your insurance
•. . . and your life
FUTURE One card, or one chip, with your life on it.”

3. •The biochip technology was originally developed in 1983 for
monitoring fisheries, it’s use now includes, over 300 zoos, pets,
monitoring lab animals, fisheries, endangered wildlife, automobiles,
hazardous waste, and humans.
•Biochips are "silently" inching into humans. For instance, at least 6
million medical devices, such as artificial body parts (prosthetic
devices),chin implants, etc., are implanted in people each year. And
most of these medical devices are carrying a "surprise" guest — A
BIOCHIP.
• To date, over 7 million animals have been "chipped.

5. •The current, in use, biochip implant system is actually a fairly simple
device.
•Today’s, biochip implant is basically a small (micro) computer chip,
inserted under the skin, for identification purposes.
•The biochip system is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
system, using low-frequency radio signals to communicate between
the biochip and reader.

6. What is RFID?
• RFID ….. radio frequency identification
• It is the use of an object (referred to as
an RFID tag) incorporated into a
product, animal or person for the
purpose of identification and tracking
using radio waves.

7. RFID
• RFID tags contain 2 parts:-
a) integrated circuit for storing and processing
information, modulating and
demodulating a radio frequency signal.
b) antenna for receiving and transmitting signal
7
8. RFID
Three types of tags
Active RFID tags…. it contains a battery and
transmit signals autonomously.
Passive RFID tags …. it contains no battery require
external source to provoke signal transmission.
Battery assisted passive…. same as active but have
significant high range.

mobile
phones:-
RFID – SIM CARD
RFID present in the
sim card of a cell
traces the person
using it even when
the cell is switched off

10. Implementation Of RFID In Biochip
A biochip is
complete when
there is
TRANSPONDER
(the chip)
READER /
SCANNER
10
11. TRANSPONDER
•Computer Chip: Stores
the unique ID number
•Antenna Coil: Primitive
Radio antenna to receive
and send signals
•Tuning Capacitor:
Charged by the small
(1/1000 of Watt) signal
sent by the reader
•Glass Capsule: Made of
biocompatible material
such as soda lime glass,
hermetically (air-tight)
sealed, covered with
Polypropylene polymer

12. READER/ SCANNER
•Transmits a small signal
•Charges the tuning
capacitor
•ID number transmitted
by the transponder

14. Advantages of Biochips
● Increases the speed of diagnosis of
diseases
● It is used for the identification purpose
● It can be used to locate missing and
kidnapped people
● In cases when a natural disasters occurs it
helps to locate people easily 14
15. Disadvantages of biochips
● Initial implementation cost is high
● lack of privacy ,a less powerful eye
compared to god is watching the user all
the time
●If at any time the biochip fails is a
challenging question that still puzzles
scientists

16. SUMMARY
● Biochips is going to set the new trend in
Medicine ,communication and
identification
Still in research phase, but soon will be
commercially used
