The document describes a microelectronic pill developed in 1972 that can measure various biomedical parameters inside the gastrointestinal tract. The pill is 16mm in diameter, 55mm long, and weighs around 5g. It contains sensors to measure pH, temperature, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen levels. The pill transmits the sensor readings wirelessly to an external receiver and computer for monitoring and storage of the data. The microelectronic pill provides a minimally invasive way to detect diseases and abnormalities in the GI tract through continuous remote physiological monitoring.
