Pill Camera
ABSTRACT
The aim of technology is to make products in a large scale for cheaper prices andincreased quality. The current technologies have attained a part of it, but themanufacturing technology is at macro level. The future lies in manufacturing productright from the molecular level. Research in this direction started way back in eighties. At that time manufacturing at molecular and atomic level was laughed about.But due toadvent of nanotechnology we have realized it to a certain level. One such productmanufactured is PILL CAMERA, which is used for the treatment of cancer, ulcer andanemia. It has made revolution in the field of medicine. At that time manufacturing atmolecular and atomic level was laughed .But due to advent of nanotechnology wehave realized it to a certain level. One such product manufactured is PILL CAMERA,which is used for the treatment of cancer, ulcer and anemia. It has made revolution inthe field of medicine.This tiny capsule can pass through our body, without causing any harm .It takes picturesof our intestine and transmits the same to the receiver of the Computer analysis of ourdigestive system. This process can help in tracking any kind of disease related todigestive system. Also we have discussed the drawbacks of PILL CAMERA and howthese drawbacks can be overcome using Grain sized motor and bi-directional wirelesstelemetry capsule .Besides this we have reviewed the process of manufacturing productsSome other important applications are also discussed along with their potential impactson various fields. We have made great progress in manufacturing products. Lookingback from where we stand now, we started from flint knives and stone tools andreached the stage where we make such tools with more precision than ever.If you have ever had to endure medical testing like a lower GI to give the doctor an ideaof what is going on in your intestines, you know that it is a truly terrible experience.Now, let’s all cheer as such uncomfortable testing may
