Swalloables II (http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000747051267/)

Similar to the previews entry is this newer development of a pill containing technology, which includes sensors that measure temperature and hydration level. Already used by the NFL in the US, it helps to monitor football players, who tend to overheat due to the use of body mass supplements, like Viking's right guard David Dixon, who died of a stroke (http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/102/C4323/), which was found to be related to a supplement players call "Ripped Fuel".
The pill shown here is the HQ Cortemp (http://www.hqinc.net/) ingestible produced by Florida based HQ Inc (http://www.hqinc.net/) and available for about $40 per pill.

Is it only 5 years ago that this little piece of equipment entered our minds and literally bodies? An isreali company came up with the first swalloable technology and in 2002,CNN published a live experiment using the capsule for treatment (http://archives.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/02/06/video.pill/). Still a bit chunky and unfortunately expensive due to not supported by the average health insurance, doctors hope that the video pill will become a standard.
A look at Given Imaging's company website (http://www.givenimaging.com/Cultures/en-US/given/english) gives you a good overall view on how it works.
