First responders monitoring lactate? Package and transport. Let the hospital worry with the lactate. And for glucose, a fingerstick is a lot easier than injecting someone with a chip.

Might be useful for a diabetic, since they'd be able to get continual glucose readings without having to stick themselves. Last I heard, though, there was a big problem with the monitoring contacts getting coated over by the immune response and thus the sensor would become worthless; have they figured out some way to prevent that?

Its R&D.  Sounds like they have a good idea where they want to go.  The purpose of R&D is to advance the science, solve problems, investigate potential and ultimately contribute to a product that can solve the problem.

You guys may want to read the article.  The focus of the R&D is for military member use for rapid mass triage.
