Now, the latest news is that, the Health and Human Service Department of US has been started to use iBeacons for their employees. Means, they want to keep their employees fit and healthy. They thought that, there should be some technology that would indicate the health level of each employee and for this purpose, The US department of Health And Human Services has set up iBeacons and different remote transmitters in all over their headquarters building in Washington, D.C.
This is really a good news if it would become totally implemented because, the Federal Department of US has been using this iBeacons as a trial. Likewise, they have put some score boards to check out the efficiency, attention and fitness level of their employees and to know that who is the more healthiest in the office.

iBeacons are too tiny but they have powerful energy as you can freely use this more than 1-2 years. It is also too easy to hide iBeacons at the party or anywhere for any purpose.
