Subdermal VeriChip and New Temperature-Sensing Microchip 
Technology Successfully Demonstrated at London Healthcare 
Conference - April 28-29, 2003
Wednesday April 30, 8:35 am ET

Potential Healthcare Applications of These Implantable Microchip 
Technologies Discussed at IDTechEx "Smart Tagging in Healthcare" 
Conference  

PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2003-- Applied 
Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADSX - News) an advanced technology 
development company, announced today that it successfully 
demonstrated its subdermal VeriChip personal verification microchip, 
as well as a new, implantable, temperature-sensing microchip technology 
at the IDTechEx "Smart Tagging in Healthcare" conference held in 
London, April 28-29, 2003.  

Dr. Richard Seelig, Vice President of Medical Applications for 
VeriChip Corporation, provided the international audience with 
a live demonstration of VeriChip and discussed its many potential 
healthcare applications - which are subject to regulation by the 
US Food and Drug Administration.  

Dr. Seelig also provided the first-ever public demonstration of a 
new temperature-sensing microchip technology, marketed, patented and 
first announced by Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC - News) in 
February 2003. This new Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) 
microchip has similar dimensions and performance characteristics as 
VeriChip, but it can also obtain and transmit body temperature data. 
In the live demonstration, a volunteer placed the microchip just behind 
her ear then passed the handheld scanner over the chip to instantly 
obtain her temperature reading. Human healthcare applications of this 
technology are subject to appropriate regulations in the US and other 
jurisdictions.  

The two-day IDTechEx conference was attended by representatives of 
private sector and government organizations. In its marketing materials, 
IDTechEx refers to the London conference as the "first major" conference 
devoted to the potential healthcare benefits of smart tagging technologies. 
As described by IDTechEx, the conference was intended to help attendees 
"learn how smart labels can save lives, reduce errors, improve health, 
reduce costs and lead to new services."
