Wireless magnetic millirobots deliver drugs inside the beating heart
Original: Wireless magnetic millirobots that deliver medicine inside the beating heart
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have developed tiny wireless magnetic millirobots that can navigate inside a beating heart to deliver medicine directly to targeted tissue. The devices are steered externally using magnetic fields, removing the need for invasive catheters or wires. The work points to less traumatic ways of treating heart disease, and commenters are debating how soon the technology could move from lab demos to clinical use.
Why now: A newly published Johns Hopkins demonstration of minimally invasive cardiac drug delivery is drawing wide attention to the future of robotic medicine.
