Didn't take long for my prediction to materialise:

WASHINGTON and SUN CITY WEST, Ariz., May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Gentag, Inc. 
and The CORE Institute(R) are pleased to announce a joint collaborative 
effort to develop and market RFID Skin Patches for Medical Applications 
in the area of Orthopedics.

The aim of the joint program is to facilitate post surgery monitoring 
applications by physicians and patients using RFID enabled cell phones 
under Gentag, Altivera and CORE patents. Specifically, physicians will 
be able to monitor the status of damaged tissues using temperature, 
pressure, and other sensors. Additionally, patients will be able to 
self-monitor their recovery from the comfort of their own homes. The 
technology platform uses RFID enabled cell phones, PDAs or wireless 
laptops that allow remote monitoring by physicians and hospitals, 
particularly during the critical first 24 hours post injury or surgery.
