MICROELECTRONIC PILL

A “Microelectronic pill” is a basically a multichannel sensor used for remote biomedical measurements using micro technology. This has been developed for the internal study and detection of diseases and abnormalities in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract where restricted access prevents the use of traditional endoscope. The measurement parameters for detection include real – time remote recording of temperature, pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen in the GI tract. This paper deals with the design of the “Microelectronic pill” which mainly consists of an outer biocompatible capsule encasing 4–channel micro sensors, a control chip, a discrete component radio transmitter and 2 silver oxide cells.
Micro electronic pill is the third-generation medical apparatus made by micro-electronic technology, which can be taken orally or put into rectum. It can send, inside body, rhythmic coded pulse which directly impulses non-striated muscle, gland, nerve and focus parts, distinctly treat many diseases of stomach, intestines and the near organs, such as dyspepsia, stomachspasm,stomachelectricityrhymedisorder,intestinesimpulsivemultiplydiseases,habitualcomstipation,partialintestinesparalysis, chronic prostate disease, cholecystitis and pancreatitis. The main Characteristics are non side effect. It is praised as “green medicine in the 21st century.
