Pill microchips will not only empower patients but will also help doctors provide better care.

These microchips can be digested and will be able to activate a harmless electric charge as drugs travel through the stomach.

A sensor patch device can be worn by the patient which will monitor the times drugs are taken, and forgotten to be taken.  That info will be sent to doctors who can keep a close watch on the patient's activity.

Trials will be underway soon, and if this technology is successful it could be a huge breakthrough for the elderly and their caregivers as well as anyone else who takes medications regularly.
