Iconoculture: Open your mind wide! Dutch tech tank Philips introduced a smart iPill that monitors temperature and acidity as it travels down the digestive highway and drops its drug cargo right where it’s needed. It was developed to reduce dosages and side effects with targeted treatment.
Packed in the plastic pill are a microprocessor, battery, wireless radio and the drug. Doctors and iPill communicate via computer.
Some concerns about the iPill are the cost — currently $1,000/pill — and the, er, end game.
The precedent in ingestech are pill cams that send back photos from deep inside the colon.

Great theory, but I dont know about this one. Somewhere along the line of my life somebody told me not to eat batteries. I’ve stuck to it ever since.
