Verichip's ID technology described

Made by Applied Digital Solutions (ADS), the VeriChip stores six lines
of text and is slightly larger than a grain of rice. It emits a 125-kHz
radio frequency signal that can be picked up by a special scanner up to
four feet away.
The company initially plans to market the chip in the United States as a
medical device that would allow hospital workers to simply scan a
patient's body in an emergency situation to access their health record.
