Worried that Mum?s forgotten to take her medication today? Well, soon there will be no need to be ? because scientists have invented a pill that sends a text to say it has been swallowed.
Doctors believe the novel device could prolong countless lives and save the NHS millions by cutting the amount of medicines that go to waste.
Each of the ?texting pills? contains a tiny metal sensor, the size of a grain of sand, that emits a signal when it gets wet in the stomach. It then passes harmlessly through the body.
