These implants are not only employed in medical treatments and performance enhancement but are also used for tracking, surveillance, contactless payments, and access control. Although the adoption of microchip implants is observed in specific sectors and countries, researchers continue to explore their broader adoption and integration. While this technology offers several conveniences, it simultaneously raises concerns about security, privacy, and the potential for data misuse. This study aims to provide a structured framework by systematically analyzing the use of microchip implants in humans and their implications for businesses. A descriptive analysis was conducted on 28 articles identified through searches in the WOS and Scopus databases, resulting in the identification of six key themes and 24 categories. The findings reveal that microchip implants have a wide range of applications, yet their social acceptance is hindered by unresolved ethical and legal challenges. While these implants offer businesses advantages in terms of efficiency and speed, issues such as employee surveillance and the unauthorized collection of personal data remain significant concerns.}, number={2}, publisher={Beste TÜRKOĞLU}
