Electronic pills allow for wireless transmission of high-definition video from inside the body. An electronic pill uses ultra-wideband telemetry to transmit video and images from inside the digestive tract to a nearby computer at data rates of up to 100 Mbps. The pill is small in size, has a long battery life of 40 hours, and uses biocompatible materials to avoid harming the body. While electronic pills can detect abnormalities, their resolution is still limited and they cannot perform some medical functions like ultrasound. Future developments aim to improve sensors and physiological analysis capabilities.
2. INTRODUCTION
• Electronic pill technology.
• Real time video of internal organs
wirelessly.
• Display the images in nearby
computer.
• Narrow & wide band transmission.
• High definition video transmission.
8. ADVANTAGES
• detection & abnormalities
in human body.
• Adaptable for use in corrosive
& quiescent environment.
• can be used in industries
• power consumption is very
less.
• High sensitivity, Good
reliability & Life times.
9. ADVANTAGES(CONTINUED)…
• Very long life of the cells (40 hours),
Current & Voltage requirement (12.1mW,
3.9mA, 3.1 V).
• Less transmission length.
• zero noise interference.
• Made of bio-compatible material, doesn't
cause any harm to the body.
• very small size
10. LIMITATIONS
• cannot perform ultrasound &
impedance tomography.
• Cannot detect radiation
abnormalities.
• Cannot perform radiation
treatment associated with cancer
& chronic inflammation.
• expensive & are not available in
many countries.
• Not reusable.
• Difficult to control camera
behavior.
11. CONCLUSION
● Visually examine the digestive tract wirelessly
● Data rate capacity of 100 Mbps
● A high-capacity radio system is currently
necessary
● Current designs show the technology is still in
its infancy, mainly due to the small size
requirement.
● Recently, it is manufactures by BODYCAP
company in France.
● And had a partnership with European countries.
12. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
• Future developments focus on the photo pattern
able gel electrolyte and oxygen and cation
selective membranes.
• in the future, these measurements will be used
to perform physiological analysis of the GI tract.
• Can be used to locate any changes
corresponding to ulcers or tissue inflammation
by temperature sensors.
• pH sensors may be used for determination of
presence of pathological conditions associated
with abnormal ph levels etc
