The company says the implanted chip will be able to read any device that uses the Near Field Communication (NFC) protocol.
“Implants are a very versatile technology that can be used for a variety of purposes, and now it is very helpful to have your Covid passport at your fingertips. If your phone runs out of battery, the Covid passport will always be available,” company representative Hannes Sjoblad.
He explained that the chips can be implanted either between the thumb and forefinger, or in the arm itself just above the wrist. The microchip itself is the size of a grain of rice. Hannes Sjoblad argues that the implementation process is completely reversible.
According to the researcher of digital cultures Moa Petersen, at the moment in Sweden, about 6 000 people have already implanted a chip in their hand, but this does not mean that they all loaded their Covid passports there. The chips can store not only certificates, but also office documents, bus passes or gym membership.
