How to confirm that patient has swallowed the medicine? Is there any ray of tool to confirm???
And the answer is Yes!!!
Yes!!! now a patient can't escape from taking the medicine.
But how???
Adventing technologies has grabbed the attention of scientists by developing a magic pill simply called " The Tattletale pill".
What is this Tattletale Pill and how does it work???
This innovative pill comprises of ---
a white capsule with a silvery line coatings which consist of ink printed non-toxic, conductive silver nanoparticles made antenna and a microchip.
Here's how it works:
