Yeah, I remember that show. (Station 51, and all the weird alarms - the longer the alarm, the bigger the fire)
I just don't think that sort of remote tech would be reliable enough for life or death.
Then I think you run into issues like how do you know who has the chip and who doesn't? You would need to get all Health regions to buy into one database and standard, or the implant would only work in Calgary (or where-ever).
Too many issues, too many downsides.
