Low-power modes in microcontrollers: Important for battery powered wearables/implants
I just came across this: http://www.openhomeautomation.net/arduino-battery/
It's an article talking about how to use atmel's low power modes in Arduino code. I don't know if the Circadia's firmware can be updated while implanted, but in the future versions this should help increase it's battery life.

At least that's what i can tell based on the schematic that was put up by grindhouse wetware.
So yeah deep power modes are nice, good to see them available in arduino code. Most of the time the battery's self discharge is amongst the biggest "consumers" (unless you have high energy demands like the led's on the circadia).
