My very own remote controlled human - Wireless drug-delivery device proves great success

Scientists have successfully tested the first wirelessly controlled microchip implanted to administer daily doses of medications to citizens.

MIT researchers and scientists from MicroCHIPS Inc. say they have used the drug-delivery chip to administer daily doses of teriparatide, an osteoporosis drug normally given by injection.

The trial which included 7 women aged 65 to 70 showed that the programmable device delivered dosages without pain and any adverse side effects.

“This is equivalent to an injection without the pain or trouble," said lead researcher Robert Farra of MicroCHIPS Inc. “Patients with chronic diseases, regular pain-management needs or other conditions that require frequent or daily injections could benefit from this technology.”
