Medimetrics’ IntelliCap is a wirelessly controlled, electronic capsule system that delivers formulations to user-defined regions of the gastrointestinal tract for regional absorption studies. The 11 mm x 26 mm (approximately ‘000’ sized) CE-marked device is composed of a microprocessor, battery, pH sensor, temperature sensor, wireless transceiver, fluid pump and drug reservoir capable of storing up to 275 µL of test compound. It communicates via its wireless transceiver to an external control unit worm by the subject.
IntelliCap is the first device that allows patient-specific drug delivery by combining electronically controlled drug delivery with real-time monitoring and patient communication. Moreover, unlike existing electronic delivery systems, it allows completely responsive, customizable release profiles, rather than single-pulse release of the entire payload. Delayed, extended and multiple pulsed release profiles are all achievable with ease.
