Doctor, I've chipped my knee

A patient who had a full artificial knee replacement chip implanted enables doctors to view the results of digital, 3D torque and force data that is transmitted wirelessly to a computer. This information allows researchers to perform detailed analysis of how the knee joint works during normal human activities, which could subsequently lead to design improvements, a more refined surgical instrumentation, as well as detecting potential activities which could overload the implant. The wireless transmitter does not run on batteries as it is powered by an externally applied alternating field. If only I can get one to know why my knee aches while hiking, and how I should change my routine.
