Deep dives
Advancements in Medical Technology: Ingestible Tracking Pills
Solero Systems has started testing a pill equipped with sensors, radio antenna, a microprocessor, and a tiny battery to monitor heart rate, breathing rate, and core temperature. The pill is about the size of a standard multivitamin and transmits its measurements back to HQ before being excreted a few days later. It has shown promising results in diagnosing sleep apnea and is as accurate as standard sleep study methods. The cost-effectiveness and potential for at-home vital monitoring are still unclear, but there is optimism for this technology to revolutionize healthcare.
