Medimetrics IntelliCap
Medimetrics is the pioneer and global leader in electronic oral drug delivery. The company has created the IntelliCap system – the world’s first intelligent oral drug delivery and monitoring system. This flagship product is used to provice services and technology access to companies exploring controlled delivery and measurement of body conditions within the gastro-intestinal tract.

Whether it’s in the development of orally administered pharmaceutical drugs, functional foods, or other active ingredients, site absorption studies in the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract are an important part of evaluating their effectiveness. The IntelliCap system enables repeatable assessment of candidate performance to be organized and completed quickly with a minimum of preparation.

Beyond site absorption studies, an electronic measurement and delivery capsule opens up a wide range of opportunities for use in areas ranging from discovery to therapuetic delivery.
