The product, called “Intellidrug” is a dosing system that incorporates sensors, some electronics and a dispensing system all neatly packaged into two false molars that are easily accessible for maintenance or refill every two weeks. This could be the end of those pills that have to be swallowed (mostly by the elderly) by people who need to take medication at times and just keep on forgetting them. The system has two sensors, one that monitors the amount of drugs that are released into the mouth and the other measures the concentration of the drugs. The controllers (electronics) open and close the valves to release the drug in conjunction with the sensors. This is more suited for elderly and chronically ill patients allowing proper doses of drugs at the specified intervals.
