I've never heard of that. How does it work?

I don’t know if I can use it, but the vets have a device that sends a signal to the dormant microchip that then wakes up and sends back the UUID with additional data like the current cat temperature

nice, I need to check if I can send RFID signals with the iPhone, maybe yes?

I'm not sure, but I know that animal chips usually run at low frequencies compared to iPhone NFC. If the iPhone can send/read at that frequency, you'll probably need the chip maker's app, because the temperature parameter probably isn't standardized and likely follows a protocol made by the manufacturer. If you know the chip maker, it's easier to check if you can read it with an iPhone app.

Then it’s a lost battle, only MSD sells the very specific reader for this thermochip. Sad, open source the microchips!
