A smart pill no bigger than a blueberry can withstand the stomach’s acidic fluids, detect signs of gastrointestinal trouble, and send warning signals to an ordinary smart phone, Assistant Professor Rabia Yazicigil (ECE) and colleagues reported in Nature. The fruit of a multi-institution, cross-disciplinary effort, this novel technology might make a world of difference for the seven million people who suffer from the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
