A new smart pill that can measure internal gasses and report on how food just eaten impacts the gut has just been successfully trialled in pigs by Australian researchers at RMIT University. The smart pill, which you take orally like any other pill, senses the gasses inside the body when it reaches the gut. It can then send data about the impact of low and high-fibre foods directly to your mobile phone from the depths of your body. The hope is that the new technology will enable future researchers to design personalised diets or drugs that can efficiently target problem areas in the gut, to help the millions of people worldwide that are affected by digestive disorders and diseases. In an interview with the inventor Professor Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh, from the Centre for Advanced Electronics and Sensors at RMIT we talked about this magical pill.
