Tiny ingestible thermometer provides continuous core body temperature readings
MIT engineers have developed a millimeter-sized ingestible sensor that measures core body temperature with high accuracy. The device uses a low-power circuit and backscattering to transmit data to an external antenna, and it could be used to monitor infections, fevers, and other conditions. The researchers hope it will eventually replace traditional thermometers.
