The device would be inserted under the skin in order to monitor your health - in turn detecting viruses and infections and stopping Covid in its tracks.
A team tasked with "making pandemics a thing of the past" created the device which can detect symptoms before you even feel them coming on.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the US revealed that the device could stop people unknowingly spreading the virus.
In an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, one expert said that while the chip could be inserted beneath the skin it wouldn’t be able to track your every move.
Army infectious disease physician Matt Hepburn said the device is a tissue-like gel which once inserted, would continuously test your blood.
The device is thought to be the first of its kind and at present governments across the world are currently using vaccinations, lockdown restrictions and increased testing in order to get societies back up and running.
