Abstract | Since their beginning, humans have always looked for means of living that can secure their lives and facilitate their communications with each other. In spite of all the achievements that humanity has achieved in health care, social security, and global communication, it still remains a fact that many are still not satisfied with any ofthe current standards for the up to date achievements, and that huge improvements are yet to come in order to reach a satisfactory level.
In health services, Humans are still seeking for implantable devices that can monitor various internal activities. Such activities are endless that it would take pages to list them. The ultimate goal is to monitor each organ, and to be able predict in advance possible malfunctions. Actions from immediate injection of medications to an automatic emergency calling can certainly save lives.
