Just like in the fantasy movies, shrunken humans and the “navigator” into the size of capsule and start the exploration in human bodies. The SmartPill pHp capsule is a great innovative product by SmartPill Corp. and it makes me think of the Matrix’s “blue pill”. It captures and transmits data about your body’s pH rating, pressure and temperature. Hope that in the future integration, there will be a wireless cam and a “navigator engine”.

:D “Take the Blue pill or Red pill?”

SmartPill Corporation has developed a remote monitoring device in the size and shape of a pill. After swallowing, it works its way from your stomach, through your intestinal tract, and out your anus, all in a period of 24-48 hours.

The SmartPill captures biomedical data throughout the entire length of the gastrointestinal tract and wirelessly sends it to a small receiver worn on a belt clip. It detects pH levels, temperature, pressure, and elapsed time to help diagnose cases of Gastroparesis, a condition where stomach contractions weaken causing food to sit for several hours.
