Taking medications via microchip

| June 20, 2012 9:15 PM

If you aren't a fan of needle injections, you may be interested to learn that drugs may now be delivered by microchip. This new way of delivering medication has already been tested among osteoporosis patients. It involves the use of an implanted microchip that has a wireless receiver, which signals the microchip to release the drug. This method of drug delivery is different from most current drug-delivery systems that slowly release small amounts of the drug. Instead, the microchip releases all the medication at once, much like a needle injection. While there are still some issues to work out, the system holds great future promise for delivering medication to patients who have trouble taking their medications regularly.
