This is ridiculous.Grindhouse believes its subdermal implants could be the future of medicine. If people can monitor their blood pressure, heart rate and levels of bodily chemicals in real time, they can work toward fixing a problem like an encroaching fever before it causes side effects.
-If only we could monitor our heart rate, blood pressure or bodily chemical levels without implanting devices under our skin!..... oh, wait... we can.
I find this stuff makes more sense if you look at it as body modification for sci-fi geeks than as practical technology. I mean, "grind"/"grinder" comes from a Warren Ellis comic. "Stick some device in your body" isn't a very good solution to any problem, pacemakers and such aside, but if you start from "I want to stick some device in my body, what sort of device might I stick in my body" you get monitoring or storage. It would be better if they talked about what they were doing that way instead of as The Future of Medicine.
