MIT Engineers Develop Miniature Ingestible Sensor for Continuous Internal Temperature Monitoring

Researchers at MIT have engineered a tiny, ingestible device capable of continuously tracking internal body temperature from within the gastrointestinal tract. This sensor, roughly the size of a blueberry, is significantly smaller than existing options, which helps reduce the risk of obstruction. The technology holds promise for various medical applications, including monitoring infections, patient observation during anesthesia, and fertility tracking.
