A team of US scientists found a microchip to detect levels of alcohol and drugs in the body. The microchip used by the injection was conceived by experts from the Jacobs School of Engineering, University of San Diego.
During this time, the method that is done is a blood test and breathalyser. Microchips become a new way to facilitate the monitoring of substances of narcotics and alcohol in the body of addicts who undergo a period of recovery.
"This tool is very likely to be part of a larger treatment ecosystem, such as long-term medical monitoring for an addicted patient," said Drew Hall, the leader of the scientific project.
Professor in electrical engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering explains how the chip works. With a very small size, the chip will be injected under the skin and settle between cells.
Once the chip enters the body, enzyme-coated biosensors in it will automatically react to certain substances such as drugs and alcohol. The component can wirelessly transmit information to sensors outside the body.
"This sensor can be applied in non-surgical clinics to facilitate patients who follow the monitoring program during the treatment of substance abuse," said Hall, quoted from the Independent page.
