Abstract:
The advances in the microelectronics fabrication allow the strong appearance of micro-electro-mechanical systems known as MEMS. MEMS enable the fabrication of smaller devices that are manufactured using standard micro-fabrication techniques similar to the ones that are used to create computer silicon chips. Several MEMS devices including micro-reservoirs, micro-pumps, cantilevers, rotors, channels, valves, sensors, and other structures have been designed, fabricated and tested from using materials that have been demonstrated to be biocompatible. This paper reviews the status of Micro-electronic and MEMS systems that can be used for adaptive drug administration. It presents different components and describes a possible implementation. Finally it presents a prototype that is termed ipill which stands intelligent pill.
