Ingestible Electronic Pill Smartphone Controlled
Wireless e-Pill Delivers Drug Therapies & Monitors Real-Time
Medical Innovation on the Cutting Edge
MIT scientists, along with Draper Lab and Brigham & Women's Hospital researchers, have done it again. They've created an ingestible electronic pill that's controlled by Bluetooth wireless technology. The device can be customized to deliver drugs, include sensors to monitor gastric conditions or do both. It's cutting edge ingestible technology that the team produces by 3D printing.
Smart Phone Controlled
It can reside in the stomach for a month. All the while responding to instructions from a user's smartphone and transmitting information The scientists say it can be used to treat a variety of diseases by delivering drugs particularly over a long time period. It can also be customized to spot infections, allergic reaction and specifically target and calibrate therapy deliveries. And it can provide the information it's collecting to the patient's and doctor's smart phones. This breakthrough innovation was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the National Institute of Health.
