Melanin-Based Bio-Battery May Power Ingestible Diagnostics
“A digestible bio-battery is under development to power the next generation of ingestible medical devices. It was developed in response to concerns about the potential toxicity of the pill-sized cameras, sensors and other noninvasive medical devices that are beginning to replace the tubes and needles traditionally used to diagnose and cure illnesses. The main concern for medical professionals is bio-compatibility; can the materials inside of the device breakdown safety inside of the body? Are any of the materials toxic?”
