Scientists invent a new mode of treatment when they create a "silver bullet" pill that can transmit health data directly to the phone. Stomach acid powers the pill.

Mail Online reported that the "silver bullet" pill can monitor the health condition. It is a revolutionary step that can create a new way of medical treatment. The interesting part is stomach acid is the source of power that activates the pill.

Popular researcher Dr. Phillip Nadeau of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology opines that the "silver bullet" pill can monitor important signs from inside the body. It can measure all health related activities and transmits them to the patient's phone. In a word, it can help the doctors to diagnose health problems easily.

Behind every creation, there must be an inspiration. The same thing has happened here. The inventors of this "silver bullet" pill first inspired by a lemon battery.

Citric acid is the source of power that charges the zinc nail and the copper penny electrodes of the lemon battery. The zinc electrode of the "silver bullet" pill is charged by the stomach acid. Now the activity of the pill was first tested on pigs.

The size of this tiny "silver bullet" pill is 30mm. This tiny device took the time of six days to complete the activity in a pig's body. Like other small sensors, it can also monitor the heart rate and temperature of the body.

Latinos Health previously reported that the stomach acid can produce electric charge to power the "silver bullet" pill. This tiny device also produces a small amount of temperature that activates its sensory system. Overall the process is very unique.

Scientists are working to produce a smaller version of this "silver bullet" pill. Most probably the length of the pill will be 10mm. This length is suitable for the human body.

The "silver bullet" pill has the "star-shaped arms". This shape helps the device to stay in the stomach for a long time and can avoid any kind of blockages. The important fact is this tiny device can change the concept of medication or treatment.
