Smart pill

Smart pill
Product Description

A team from Cambridge Design Partnership has created a ground-breaking ‘smart pill' to gather crucial nutritional information during digestion. The electronic pill contains a sensor which knows when it has left the acidity of the stomach and entered the first part of the intestine. When it is correctly located the pill opens and takes a food sample, using a miniature piston-type mechanism. The pill then closes, to contain and protect the sample as the pill moves through the remainder of digestion.
