A Bloody Smart Test
from the wsj doesn't say it records CBC data but interesting..
By DANIEL AKST A Bloody Smart Test Imagine a blood test that's always running—and doesn't hurt a bit. Researchers in Switzerland have developed an implantable miniature blood lab that sends its findings to a smartphone via Bluetooth. Researchers have developed an implantable miniature blood lab that sends its findings to a smartphone. The device, half an inch long and drawing 1/10th of a watt of power from a battery patch worn on the skin, uses enzyme-coated sensors to measure cholesterol, glucose and other items of interest to doctors. Feedback from the device also could be used to calibrate dosages of chemotherapy for cancer patients. A prototype has been tested on animals, and researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne say that the device should be commercially available for use on humans within four years.

Wow too cool. It seems that would be perfect for measuring cyclosporine levels. It would be great to do a research study with cyclosporine levels and how they vary over the day. I am now at the one year mark on Cyclosporine. I hope that some good things come out of the technology.
