That's Fit

In what is probably the coolest way to take medicine ever, an Israel-based company has created a prosthetic tooth that delivers medication for people who need it at regular intervals. The aptly named IntelliDrug is literally the size of a pair of molars and would hold a solid pill inside.

By design, saliva is allowed to permeate the device and build up pressure inside. Then, at pre-programmed intervals, an electronic valve is opened to release the medication. It even has software to monitor how much potency is left in the pill!

The best news is that this doesn't have to be a permanent fixture for people either. It can be installed much like a bracket at the orthodontist's office. Of course, fixed versions can be applied to people needing a long-term solution. This technology would be great for people who take medication on a daily basis -- or even for those who sometimes forget! Like the article suggests, Alzheimer's patients would get a lot out of this device too. Read on for more information regarding this invention.
