Revolutionary Pill Monitors Internal Vital Signs

Digital health company Celero Systems is developing an electronic pill that can measure heart rate, breathing rate, and core temperature from inside the human stomach. In a small clinical trial, the pill was tested on sleep apnea patients and proved to be nearly as accurate as the current gold standard of monitoring. The pill has potential applications in monitoring various conditions, including asthma, cardiac issues, and neuromuscular disorders. Celero Systems also aims to use the pill as an internal alarm system for drug-related overdoses. The pill can detect breathing disruptions and trigger an alert, potentially saving lives. The company plans to refine the pill's capabilities and conduct further studies before making it available on the market.
