Very cool, but as someone who has difficulty swallowing pills, I doubt I could get that down. Maybe if my life depended on it.
Im hoping for something like this that can check the colon. I also have a hard time swallowing pills as well but to avoid a colonoscopy I will figure it out. Heck as it is it will prevent an endocscopy so I could do it.
currently the battery only lasts 30-4min, so no colonpscopy just yet
yeah may need one of those systems where it can generate its own power. Someday.
Ohhh I'd love to have a tiny nuclear reactor in my anus!
For God sakes, Bender, keep dancing!
I meant more things I have seen where the micromachine can harvest energy from body processes. Only a small amount of energy can be gotten but most of these things are pretty low energy.
