No, the above image is not from the latest Saw movie. It's a photograph of Tim Cannon biohacker, the so-called "DIY Cyborg" that implanted a computer chip Circadia 1,0 in the size of a smartphone under the skin of his arm.
The wirelessi sensors, developed during the last 18 months by Cannon and his hacker friends at Grindhouse wetware, monitor his vitals and transmit them data in real time through Bluetooth in Android device.
Cannon told Vice Motherboard, that Circadia 1.0 could "send me a text message if it thinks I'm about to have a fever." The device could then help you determine which factors are causing your fever. The future ones Appliances of the sensor is expected to be much smaller than the one you see in the photo above.
The huge device, the bruised skin and the stitches are not so elegant. The implantation process is not medically approved, since Cannon did it with the help of some friends and without anesthesia (!).
