European scientists will soon solve the problem of "forgetful" patients who do not take medicine in time. To help them come artificial devices that are mounted in the tooth tissue and are able to release a certain amount of medicine strictly in time.

The size of the device is so small that it fits perfectly into two molars on one jaw.

Particularly useful device will be for patients such as hypertension and diabetics, which is important for taking the drug and at night.

According to one of the 15 device researchers, the German Thomas Velten, the device allows to solve a very important and actual problem of the constant concentration of the active substance in the patient's blood, which is necessary in the treatment of certain conditions.

In addition, the dose is very easily adjusted and selected individually for such indicators as age, condition, sex and more.

The name of the device is Intellidrug, the principle of action is that it contains the drug in the form of a tablet in the tank, at the right time, the saliva passes through the membrane of the tank, dissolves the tablet.

Further, the electric drive of the device allows the valve to open, through which the desired amount is released at the right moment.

Fastening allows not to interfere with the process of food and conversation and is carried out with the help of dental glue and clips.

On the body of the device are two chip-controllers, which prompt the patient the amount of the drug that remained in the reservoir and the amount of the drug that was released, which helps the doctor adjust the dose of the medicine if necessary.

According to statistics, about 50% of chronic patients do not take their medication on time and in sufficient dosage. The use of such a device will not only improve the patient's quality of life, but also provide treatment at a higher quality level.
