Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Drug Delivery Systems
  • Remote Control Technology

Background:

  • Traditional drug delivery methods often lack precise control over release kinetics.
  • The need for targeted and programmable drug administration is increasing in modern medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a new high-frequency remote-controlled capsule for drug delivery.
  • To demonstrate the capability of regulating drug release patterns using a gas-producing cell mechanism.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a capsule incorporating a miniature gas-producing cell and a high-frequency receiver.
  • Utilizing a 24 MHz transmitter and a MOSFET switch for remote activation and control of gas production.
  • Conducting release experiments with oxprenolol to assess different release profiles.
