Episode How Chips Are Using On-Chip Drug Delivery for Implantable Devices
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the cutting-edge world of on-chip drug delivery systems used in implantable medical devices. They discuss how microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology enables precise, programmable release of therapeutic compounds directly at the site of need, reducing side effects and improving patient outcomes. The hosts examine a specific case study from MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, where researchers developed a chip with 100 reservoirs that can be individually triggered to release drugs. They also touch on the power challenges, biocompatibility issues, and the potential for closed-loop systems that respond to real-time biomarkers. Lucas and Luna debate the timeline for commercialization and the impact on chronic disease management, from diabetes to cancer therapy. A must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of semiconductor technology and healthcare.
