Take Two and Text Me in the Morning

For some time doctors have come to know that what happens to the food we eat is of paramount importance to our health. More and more research is being conducted specifically on the gut, the stomach and the smaller intestine. Obtaining accurate data on what is actually happening has been illusive.

In a recent New Atlas article, doctors at RMIT in Melbourne, Australia have developed a device that when swallowed can send back data on the gases circulating in our system. Previously, these gases had to be detected by using a breathalyzer.  With this new device the data is transmitted wirelessly in real-time over Bluetooth to a smartphone. Once it has done its job, it passes safely through the system.

Doctors see the possibility of this type of device diagnosing all manner of diseases so that in the very near future someone seeing their healthcare professional will actually have them say, "Take two of these devices and they will text me in the morning."  As they say, "What will they think of next?" - Dr. Tom
