Tim Cannon, biohacker and head developer of the Circadia 1.0, has a unit implanted into his arm which sends instant reports and updates of his biomedical data to his phone by bluetooth connection. The Circadia 1.0 unit receives this information from his body through temperature and pulse sensors. Additionally, the Circadia unit also displays notifications and the time from his phone through LEDs integrated within the device.
