Smart pills are ingestible medical devices comprising sensors, cameras, patches, and trackers to record various physiological measures. They help in accurate therapy and better diagnostics and monitoring while eliminating the need for invasive procedures. Presently, several manufacturers are coming with innovative variants with advanced batteries and onboard memory. They assist in remote patient monitoring and telemedicine, providing wireless transmission of information in real-time and measuring the effects of the medication.

Smart Pills Market Trends:
A considerable rise in the prevalence of cancer and malignant gastrointestinal (GI) disorders represents one of the primary factors driving the demand for smart pills over conventional diagnostic techniques, such as endoscopy. Endoscopy devices are inserted into the patient’s esophagus for diagnosis of GI disorders. However, the risk of infection transmission and esophageal tearing is usually high with endoscopes. Consequently, smart pills are widely utilized as they provide multidimensional pictures of the internal parts of the body non-invasively. Moreover, the growing pediatric population, which is relatively more vulnerable to targeted diseases, along with the emerging trend of minimally invasive surgeries (MIS), is promoting the adoption of smart pills to diagnose and treat chronic diseases. Apart from this, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and the consequent rise in the demand for telemedicine technologies for remote patient visits are contributing to market growth. Furthermore, they are employed in the defense and allied industries to monitor the core body temperature of soldiers in real-time. Besides this, market players are investing in research and development (R&D) projects that focus on effective localization, steering, and control of pills. This is projected to expand the applications of smart pills in the future.
