Abstract

The introduction of microsystem technology into diagnostic devices is a rapidly growing field where low form-factor can significantly improve device access or patient comfort. In this paper we present our results on a lab-in-a-pill device that uses laboratory-on-a-chip and system-on-chip technology to deliver analytical data from a range of sensors, and the methodology employed to build the device
