Cyborg Profile: Tim Cannon
Tim Cannon is an American software developer, entrepreneur, and biohacker based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is best known as CIO of Grindhouse Wetware, a biotechnology startup company that creates technology to augment human capabilities. Grindhouse was co-founded by Cannon and Shawn Sarver in 2012.
Cannon has had a variety of body modification implants, including an RFID tag in his hand and magnetic implants in a finger, wrist, and tragus.
In October 2013, Cannon became the first person to be implanted with the Grindhouse-designed biometric sensor known as Circadia; which sent Cannon’s temperature to his phone, was powered wirelessly through inductive charging, and mimicked bioluminescence with subdermal LEDs. Cannon is currently working to design an improved, consumer-friendly version of his Circadia implant that measures additional biometrics such as blood glucose, blood oxygen, blood pressure, and heart rate data.
In November 2015, Tim had a prototype of Grindhouse’s Northstar device implanted into his right forearm during a procedure at the “Cyborg Fair” in Düsseldorf, Germany. A little larger than a coin, Northstar contained five LED lights, creating a bioluminescent effect when touched with a magnet.
