Bye Bye to all expensive scans, X-rays and other unnecessary tests prescribed by doctors.


Bye Bye to all expensive scans, X-rays and other unnecessary tests prescribed by doctors. World's first microchip pill has been introduced and approved by FDA.

The microchip is a standard digital chip made up of silicon with traces of magnesium and copper and is no more significant than the size of traditional medicine. Once the microchip is ingested, it gets activated by the stomach's digestive fluids and starts generating electric signals. A battery-operated patch on the patient’s skin receives these signals, which forwards the medical information to a mobile app upon the patient’s consent. The battery-operated patch has a life of seven days, and in the mean duration, it is responsible for receiving all the inner-body conditions from the microchip.

The conditions such as heart rate, temperature, and body position are tracked and then forwarded to the clinicians (via mobile app) so that the patient can be medicated accordingly. The device has been approved to be used with placebo pills to test its safety and working. If the procedure turns out to be successful and safe, microchips will soon be integrated with medication. This chip will help to analyse Heart Diseases also.
