Breast Implants That ‘Do Something Useful’

Here are some words you don’t hear often, “if a woman has something implanted permanently, it might as well do something useful”.

Those are the words of UK-based BT Laboratories’ analyst Ian Pearson who says computer chips that store music could soon be built into a woman’s breast implants.

Flexible plastic electronics would sit inside the breast and signal would be relayed to headphones, while the device would be controlled by Bluetooth using a panel on the wrist.

“It is now very hard for me to think of breast implants as just decorative”, he said in a recent interview. “If a woman has something implanted permanently, it might as well do something useful”.

Pearson added sensors in the chips could also monitor the electrical impulses and warn wearers about heart murmurs, blood pressure increases, diabetes and breast cancer.
