Obama’s plan calls for computer chip implants to help soldiers heal
President Obama is backing a unique program aimed at developing computer chip implants that monitor and augment an injured soldier’s nervous system — mitigating all sorts of maladies, ranging from arthritis to post-traumatic stress.
The computer chips are the purview of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency specializing in the development of high-tech military equipment. It was one of several programs green-lighted as part of the 19 executive actions announced yesterday by President Obama — all of them aimed at boosting the mental health of U.S. troops and veterans.
