Mobile devices have APIs that allow an application to send and receive SMS, make a phone call, determine location etc.

In the future, when mobile devices are embedded in your body, what kind of APIs might be availbe to an application developer?

EDIT: This is not intended to be a joke question (but what's the harm in some funny answers?). It's to spur a discussion on how one aspect of mobile device application could pan out and what kind of application might be available. For example: health monitoring - various APIs available to get body temperature, sugar levels, etc for transmission to your GP.
