Smart Pills
by Chris Bodenner
No, not these. These:
[T]he vitamin-sized iPill boasts a
microprocessor, power supply, drug reservoir with pump to deliver the
medication, and a wireless transmitter to maintain contact with
external medical equipment. The “intelligent pill” is swallowed no differently than with a glass
of water, but is able to measure temperature and acidity, and to
accurately determine its position in the digestive tract in order to
release the medicine precisely when and where it is needed.
Check out the cool demonstration on YouTube.
