In case you have any kind of problems with your gastrointestinal tract and you feel the need of a new treatment approach, then Philips’s camera pill is the thing you are looking for.

The pill can be programmed to deliver doses of medicine to patience for certain digestive disorders like: the Crohn’s disease, colitis, and colon cancer.

The camera is 11 mm x 26 mm and you can swallow it with water. The camera pill will get its location by measuring the pH of the areaand then it will deliver the medicine to the exact needed location.

Besides delivering the drugs it can also measure local temperature and report it to an external receiver. Hopefully it will also be able to take pictures or offer detailed video images in the future.
