The technology was first used in the country in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The implants have already helped replace the need for a host of daily necessities.

When she enters her workplace, the 28-year-old simply waves her hand near a small box and types in a code before the doors open, AFP said.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the state-owned SJ rail line started scanning the hands of passengers with biometric chips to collect their train fare while on board.
