Microchips in tablets could monitor pills - The Times 12th September 2008

Patients could soon be swallowing microchips in their tablets. The chips would then report when treatments had been taken and what effect they had on the patient. Other microchips could also be placed under the skin to deliver drugs ranging from pain medication to chemotherapy. These chips, in the advanced stages of trials, are designed with tiny compartments loaded with multiple drugs and covered with caps. Applying an electrical signal dissolves the caps and releases the medication.
