INTRODUCTION
Implantable and ingestible (edible) electronic
devices that stay inside your body pose unique
engineering challenges. These should not only use
the best processor but also be minimal in size,
biocompatible, safe and extremely reliable.
Reliability is all the more important as it often turns
out to be a case of life or death.
 From cardiac pacemakers to cochlear implants, from brain
interfaces to retinal implants, there are numerous
implantable medical electronic devices available today.
Tiny, capsule-sized electronic device that are consumed
orally for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Some edibles
are designed to remain
inside the body for some time, while others do their
jobs and get disposed of within minutes.
 The future of ingestible sensors could be a cross between
silicon-based circuitry and biodegradable materials, with
batteries made of nutrients and running on stomach juices.
These sensors are activated by fluids in the body.
 This sensor sends a signal to the patch and monitor the
functions of the body and information's send to the patient's
or doctors mobile phone.

Painless diabetes testing,
drug delivery and more
The rise in lifestyle disease like diabetes has also led to
an increased demand for implantable devices like
implantable continuous glucose monitoring system.
There are also implantable devices for phrenic nerve
stimulation to restore breathing function in Patients and
Implantable neuro-stimulators to help those with
neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease.
Cochlear implants are used when the patient has severe
hearing loss due to absent or reduced cochlear hair cell
function. The implant basically carries out the function of
the cochlea or inner ear stimulating the auditory nerve
directly.
Retinal implants are giving vision to the impaired around
the world. This will cure glaucoma and acquired retinal
disease. This system interfaces directly with the brain,
bypassing the retina and optic nerve.
 The biocompatible, implantable photonic devices can
improve health monitoring, diagnostics and light-activated
therapies.
 It can return motor function to people paralyzed due to
stroke or spinal cord injury.
FUNCTION
 The patients can go about normal activities and have a
normal diet while the pill unobtrusively monitors their acid
reflux.
 The miniature pH capsule attaches to the esophagus and
sends pH data wirelessly to a small recorder worn on a
shoulder strap or waistband.
The electronics that you swallow, encapsulated in a pill, will sit in
your gastrointestinal tract for a short time, before being ejected
from your body like regular food waste. During this time it can
capture videos, release drugs, monitor heart rate and
respiration, and perform other such tasks.
The pill is made of whatever drugs are required and fitted
with a sensor made of natural ingestible material like
copper, magnesium and silicon.

Advantages
It is painless.
Alternative to testes like endoscopy and colonoscopy.
Patients can do normal activity and normal diets while the
pill is swallowed.
It is edible, biocompatible, biodegradable and
environmentally sustainable.
Disadvantages
 Thermal management is another huge challenge in implantable devices.
Risk of infection.
 chronic inflammation.
 costly surgical procedures.
Chances of trapping inside the body.
Conclusion
Edible electronic medical devices are not a new idea. Since
the 1970s, researchers have been asking people to swallow
prototypes that measure temperature and other
biomarkers. Currently, there are ingestible cameras for
gastrointestinal surgeries as well as sensors attached to
medications used to study how drugs are broken down in
the body.
