Researchers develop digestible sensors for monitoring the gastrointestinal tract

MIT’s researchers spend a lot of time thinking about digestible technology.

The school's Koch Institute in particular has focused on the space, looking at ways in which digestible sensors can be used to monitor things like drug intake.
