Digital Pill

Abstract: Digital pill is basically a multichannel sensor used for remote biomedical measurements using micro technology. This is used for the real-time measurement parameters such as pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen. The sensors are fabricated using electron beam and photolithographic pattern integration and were controlled by an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Digital pills are ingestible miniaturized electromechanical devices representing a point of convergence between biomedical technology, medicine and the pharma industry. Electronics, sensors and miniature robotic technology can give access, analyse and manipulate the body from the inside. In particular, smart pills for drug delivery are an emerging technology; many different approaches to local drug delivery have been proposed, including transcutaneous and implantable means. Anyhow, swallow able smart pills for drug delivery are receiving increasing attention as the oral one is still the preferred route for drug administration, due to its high patient acceptance and low cost. Smart pills for drug delivery offer a number of significant opportunities for pharmaceutical industries because they may be used in a wide range of applications and enable therapies not possible with conventional means.

The changes occur in human bodies are monitored and sent it to nearby monitor for doctor monitoring through wireless.
