 ABSTRACT

The invention of transistor made it possible for the very first use of radiometry capsules,
which utilised simple circuits for the internals study of gastro- intestinal (GI) tract. They
could not be utilised as they might transfer only from single channel and also due to the size
of the components .They likewise suffered from bad reliability, low sensitivity and brief life
times of the devices. This caused the application of single-channel telemetry pills for the
detection of illness and irregularities in the GI tract where limited location prevented using
standard endoscopy.
They were later on modified as they had the disadvantage of using laboratory type sensing
units such as the glass pH electrodes , resistance thermometers. They were also of extremely
large size. The later modification is comparable to the above instrument but is smaller in size
due to the application of existing semiconductor fabrication innovations. These technologies
led to the development of “MICRO ELECTRONIC PILL” .
Combination of biology and electronics has led to many new inventions. These are useful to
combat deadly diseases. One such invention is microelectronic pill. This phenomenon is used
to detect diseases and abnormalities in the body. The microelectronic pill is completely harm-
free to the body.
