and devised Medeye a bedside medication-scanning system that uses computer vision to identify pills

The nurse then pushes the assigned pills into the Medeye via a sliding tray. Inside the device a small camera scans the pills rapidly identifying them by size shape color and markings.

Medeye showed the extra pill was incorrect. But to his surprise so were two other pills that the nurse had assumed were correct

#First 3d printed pill approved in US In a world first, the US Food and Drug Administration has given the go-ahead for a 3d printed pill to be produced.

Levetiracetam in traditional pill form is sold already under a variety of names and is available as a generic prescription in both the US and UK.

Levetiracetam Aprecia Pharmaceuticals sees Spritam as just the first step into the world of 3d printing pills.

Rather than taking multiple different pills with a few hundred milligrams of active ingredients, the pharmacy of the future could simply 3d print a single pill that has all those drugs in a single dose.

Assuming such a system could be developed with proper safety measures to prevent contamination, that could vastly reduce patient error when taking medications.

#Electronic pill that helps you slim by tricking your tummy An electronic pill that tricks the brain into thinking the stomach is full could help tackle obesity.

The experimental pill works in the same way as gastric pacemakers to suppress appetite. A gastric pacemaker is an implant that is surgically placed in the stomach and wired to the vagus nerve.

This mesh stops the pill passing out of the stomach into the bowel. A powerful magnetic patch is applied then to the skin to draw the pill into position over the site where the vagus nerve runs through the abdomen-near the top of the stomach just under the breastbone.

This magnetic patch is worn round the clock and holds the smart pill in place. When it senses muscle contractions that tell it food is entering the stomach,

the pill begins to transmit signals along the nerve to the brain to dampen down appetite.

The pill is designed to disintegrate after three to four weeks. Powerful acid in the stomach dissolves the mesh

and the shell housing the tiny electronics, which then pass harmlessly out of the body as waste.

The patient can be given more pills if they still need to lose weight. The device is expected to enter clinical trials in the next year or so.
