A pharmaceutical company in the United States has developed a "smart" tablet that can help patients develop the habit of taking medication on time, and allows doctors to keep abreast of the patient's condition. This tablet is still in clinical trials.
The secret of "smart" tablets lies in the square microchips. The chip is made of an edible material that emits a low-power digital signal under the action of gastric juice as it enters the stomach.
The receiver attached to the body or implanted under the skin can receive the signal, then decode, send the information to the mobile phone, display the time of the next medication and display some health related data in the form of a short message.
If you forget to take the medicine, the receiver will also send a reminder message to the patient's mobile phone.
In addition to reminding patients to take medication on time, “smart†tablets can send a message to the doctor to let the doctor know the patient's condition, such as whether to take the medication on time and the type of medication.
In addition, the chip can transmit vital signs such as heartbeat and body temperature of the patient, so that the doctor can understand which physiological changes caused by the drug and consider whether it is necessary to adjust the dosage.
Effect The performance of this device called "raisin" in the United States showed that the trial user's on-time medication rate increased from 30% to 80%. The British National Health Service and Imperial College, Royal Berkshire Hospital are preparing to recruit 40 heart patients for a four-month test. These patients took the same medications during the test period, but the drugs contained chips.
Cardiologist Nicholas Peters said strict medication on time will improve the health of heart patients, reduce the need to go to the hospital and save on medical expenses.
The British "Daily Mail" quoted Peters on the 14th as saying: "It can encourage patients to be responsible for their own health." If the test results are satisfactory, a one-year test will be carried out on a larger scale in the future.
In the future, the European Union will award the “raisin†and “CE†mark on the 13th, indicating that it meets food hygiene standards. In the "raisin" device, a chip is placed in each tablet, and the chip disintegrates shortly after the drug dissolves. Researchers hope to develop chips that can be permanently implanted in the future, and can track the patient's condition for years, not just hours. Researchers named the more advanced physical condition tracking device "Body 2.0." With the installation of "Body 2.0", the doctor may find signs of a few hours or a few days before the patient's illness.
The prospect of installing a permanent tracking device in the body is good, but it faces some difficulties. For example, how to avoid the tracking device being damaged in the humid environment and the "offensive" of the enzyme and immune system, how to avoid it causing body infection and the like.

Containerized Oxygen Cylinder Filling System
ETR can combine all parts of the Oxygen Cylinder Filling System into a customized container, including air compressor, refrigerate air dryer, filters, buffer tanks, Oxygen Generator and oxygen booster and cylinder filling station.
Compressed air is purified through the air dryer and filters to a certain level for main plant to work with. Air buffer is incorporated for smooth supply of compressed air thus to reduce fluctuation of compressed air source. The plant produces oxygen with PSA (pressure swing adsorption) technology, which is a time proven oxygen generation method. Oxygen of desired purity at 93%±3% is delivered to oxygen buffer tank for smooth supply of product gas. Oxygen in buffer tank is maintained at 4bar pressure. With an oxygen booster, the oxygen pressure can reached to 15Mpa and fill in cylinders.
