From wearables to swallowables: USC Engineering researchers create GPS-like smart pills with AI - EurekAlert


"Imagine finding your location without GPS. Now apply this to tracking an item in the body. This has been the challenge with tracking “smart” pills – pills equipped with smart sensors–once swallowed. At the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, innovations in wearable electronics and AI have led to the development of ingestible sensors that not only detect stomach gasses but also provide real-time location tracking. Developed by the Khan Lab, these capsules are tailored to identify gasses associated with gastritis and gastric cancer
