A Joke or Cure??

› Painless Diabetes testing

› For Diagnostics

› For Drug Delivery

› Brain to Machine Interfaces

 Pill Cam

 Develop by Given Imaging

 It can take high speed photos

 It is the painless alternative to tests

like endoscopy and colonoscopy

 It can travel through digestive tact

and excrete out of body like normal
food
Ingestible Sensor by Proteus Digital Health

 It is made up of copper,
magnesium and silicon

 This sensor send information

directly to mobile
“A types of flexible , biocompatible aqueous sodium ion batteries
developed by a team at Fudan University ”

 These batteries use sodium containing

aqueous electrolytes such as normal saline and
cell culture medium

 The cell culture medium contain amino

acids , sugars , vitamins
 Edible Actuator
o Develop by Switzerland based
Research Organisation
EPFL(École polytechnique
fédérale de Lausanne)

o It is made up of gelatine,
glycerine and water

o It is edible, biodegradable,
biocompatible and environmental
sustainable

o It is self-healing because of
gelatine
“Its structure causes it to bend when inflated and straightened out
when the pressure is reduced”
 Advantages of Edible Actuator

 Its components could be

 In search and rescue
mixed with nutrients to
operations
improve healing, digestion
and metabolism

 To study behaviour of sick animals and to

cure wild animals
 Neuralink

Start-up funded by Elon

Musk in 2017

•Brain to Machine Interface

• Musk called this Brain-to-

Machine technology Neural
Lace
 What is Neural Lace ?

• Neural Lace is ultra-thin

mesh implanted in the form
of the body of electrodes

• It is used to monitor brain

function
 Goals Of Neuralink

•Create new implants that can be surgically inserted into the human brain

•Allow humans to mentally interact with the devices around them

•Let humans amass data via the chip

•Help out the medical field treat more brain injuries

 Unique Engineering Challenges

 Miniaturisation

 Thermal Management

 Biocompatible
 Conclusion
• Currently, we have biocompatible polymers for use in drug delivery
devices, skin or cartilage and ocular implants: metals for dental and
orthopaedic work: semiconductor materials for bio-sensors and
implantable micro-electrodes: and ceramics for bone replacements,
heart valves and dental implants.
• But, ingestible electronics adds to the constraints, requiring the
device and its power source to be made of materials that are part
of our diet and can be disintegrated and disposed of easily by the
body.
• The fastest growing segment amongst the many types of implants is
implantable neuro-stimulators, which help treat neurological
disorders such as epilepsy, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease,
Parkinson’s disease and dystonia.
• It is also likely that in the future, these implantable electronics will
be digitally connected to improve the scope of remote drug
delivery, testing and diagnostics.
