also the fact that it can work in combination with an SIID
OPTIONAL - SiiD IMPLANT
A MICROELECTRONIC IMPLANT FROM DSRUPTIVE
You can choose to use Sentero in combination with the SiiD implant to enhance your cyborg experience. By implanting the programmable NFC chip in close proximity to your Sentero you will receive these extra features:
To close the loop, when a Nest is sensed, by tapping on your SIID implant with your smartphone you can trigger an app or web-link that links to the person or place we are sensing. Send them a message, call them, open a picture of you together or post something on their social media.

As an additional stimulation when a Nest is sensed.
Waaay too touchy feely, just interesting, the association between the “north sense” and “xSIID”, as I was reading through I didn’t expect to see a SIID there.
If you do, I’ll need one. I’d MUCH rather an implant than a weird arm band… thing… with very vague feature set… but I’m sure interesting how this pans out since it’s at least SOMETHING in the direction of a new sense…
Not with the siid alone there isn’t, now the chip inside is afaik an ntag i2c plus which give a i2c bus that you could attach sensors to which would be cool.
But as of yet to see something that works, I mean temperature is cool and all but blood pressure or o2sat would be better
Notice there overuse of the word platform and enabling -_- they talk about all the vital monitoring but they use sneaky marketing bs to oversell the current offering as @Devilclarke said its a chip that a sensor could be added too and potentially code to interact with it but I don’t think they have any info on actual implementations, the site looks like its targeting partners who want to build implantable sensors not consumers since they don’t link to things like impli or the xSIID.
It is an NTAG I2C Plus. They’re only using it for the energy harvesting though. They are marketing the SIID module as a sensor platform which anyone can set up their own biometric system on, but it will never work for direct communication between a phone and a sensor. I’m pretty confident they didn’t know how it worked when they made it.
I use the same chip on my business cards. While it does work really well for energy harvesting, it can only act as a bridge between the NFC on a phone and a microcontroller over I2C. The microcontroller acts as the master which communicates with the I2C sensor and relays that information over NFC to the phone. It can’t provide a direct communication channel between an NFC phone and an I2C sensor, and not many MCUs can fit in glass.
Having a sense of the magnetic north would be nice, just because an extra sense would be nice, for its own sake. But it’s hardly useful, apart perhaps for orienteering - and that usually requires more precision, and laying the compass on a map anyway. Unless someone wants to do augmented dead-reckoning
