A biochip is a collection of miniaturized test sites arranged on a solid substrate that allows many biological tests to be performed simultaneously. It combines biology and computer chip technology. Biochips can store and transmit personal data like medical records and be used to uniquely identify and track individuals. They have applications in early disease detection, monitoring health conditions, and replacing documents like passports. While biochips provide advantages like health monitoring and locating lost individuals, they also raise privacy issues and concerns about loss of human freedom if used to excessively monitor or control individuals. Research is ongoing to enhance biochip capabilities and their use is expected to grow.
