Electronic Pills – Collecting Data Inside The Body [602026]

Electronic Pills – Collecting Data Inside The Body

To
be
competitive
in
nowadays’
electronic
marketplace,
it
is
impossible

not
to
look
to
Asia,
where
almost
everything
is
less
expensive
and
usually

problem-solving.
I
checked
Asian
market
for
the
most
innovative
project
that

has
been
successfully
launched
recently
and
I
found
one
little
object
that

could
help
the
medical
researches
and
improve
the
quality
of
medical

services.
It
could
also
contribute
to
curing
diseases
that
grind
people’s

bodies and souls.

This
paper
is
about
the
electronic
pills.
It
may
sound
a
little
bit
strange
that
the

pills
that
people
used
to
swallow
when
they
felt
bad,
those
which
melted
inside
their

intestines,
can
be
found
in
an
electronical
form.
And
what
do
they
do?
Well,eventhough

it
is
an
intrusive
method,
these
electronic
pills
collect
data
which
can
be
found
in
the

stomach or in the intestines.

It
is
a
wireless
device
contained
in
swallowable
capsules
(
It
has
a
16
mm

diameter
and
5
gram
weigth.
It
is
covered
by
chemically
resistant
polyether
terketone)

that
contain
sensors
or
tiny
cameras
which
collect
information.The
main
parts
of

electronic
pills
are
four
sensors,
an
ASIC
chip,
a
radio
transmitter
and
a
power
source.
It

travels
through
the
gastrointestinal
tract
and
transmits
information
such
as

acidity,pressure
and
temperature
levels
or
images
of
the
esophagus
and
intestine,

before
being
excreted
from
the
body
one
day
or
two
later.
The
total
information
will
be

displayed on a monitor.

This
device
can
be
used
instead
of
other
medical
technologies
that
disturbed
the

physical
condition
of
the
pacient: [anonimizat],
sometimes,
the
psychological
one.
Doctors
use

invasive
methods
such
as
catheters,endoscopic
instruments,
radioisotopes
that
invade

the
pacient’s
body.
Some
of
these
experiences
were
traumatizing,
as
Daniel
Brown

recalls:

“
I
had
an
endoscopy
before.
You
cannot
eat
or
drink
anything
after
midnight.
I
couldn’t

sleep
at
all
the
night
before,
I
was
nervous.
I
hate
needles
and
I’ve
never
had
a
medical

procedure
of
any
kind
like
that
,
so
that
was
all
very
new
and
frightening.
I
gagged
badly

and
I
had
a
really
bad
sore
throat
after.
I
hated
it.
5
minutes
lasted
forever
and

eventually,they found nothing.”

This
new
electronic
device
can
help
you
not
to
get
through
this
experience.
The

device
companies
have
been
developing
easier,less
intrusive
methods
to
gather
data

and
this
is
an
important
step
in
the
evolution
of
the
general
medicine.
Doctors
can

inspect
some
parts
of
the
internal
human
body,
but
some
areas
cannot
be
easily

observed.
The
electronic
pills
can
be
used
in
order
to
measure
muscle
contraction,
ease

of passage and other factors, to reveal information not available in the past.

After
years
of
investment
and
development,
this
wireless
device
contained
in

swallowable
capsules
has
been
finally
launched
on
the
market.
Its
mission
is
to
inspire

hope
and
to
contribute
to
health
and
well-being
by
providing
best
solutions
to
every

pacient which choses to put their trust in this new technology.

The
company
is
committed
to
providing
the
highest
quality
medical
care.
The

pacient
is
the
focus
of
everything
this
organization
does
and
his
best
interest
is
the
only

interest to be considered.
