It seems like something you would see on a science fiction movie--but no.
This thing is real and it's here.
Philips's R&D unit is currently working on an 11-by-26-millimeter capsule. This tiny device is loaded with tiny sensors, a microprocessor, a fluid pump, a wireless transmitter, and medication. Patients can ingest it just like any other pill. This device permits doctors to deliver drugs directly to a specific area of the gastrointestinal tract. These kind of advances will help treat illnesses such as Crohn's disease.This thing is real and it's here.
What will they come up with next? Seriously.
