With the IntelliDrug, however, you would never forget to take your meds again. IntelliDrug is a device only two molar widths in size, made up of stainless steel and polymers, that would contain a [drug reservoir](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inspo-smart-insulin) and micro fluidic duct [shaped like a molar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tooth-replacement). The concept behind this device is that, at timed intervals, programmed by a doctor, it would release a dose of drugs supplied by the doctor to treat a patient through the duration of their therapy. It uses sensors and an electrically controlled valve and is powered by two small batteries. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Implantable Drug Delivery:** IntelliDrug is a pioneering innovation in the field of implantable drug delivery devices with potentially widespread implications for healthcare. - **Internet of Medical Things:** IntelliDrug has the potential to be a game-changer in the realm of Internet of Medical Things offering an efficient and smart way of drug delivery. - **Personalized Medicine:** IntelliDrug can support the development of personalized medicine, and pave the way for smart and customized drug delivery solutions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare:** IntelliDrug could revolutionize the healthcare industry by providing an innovative solution for effective drug delivery. - **Pharmaceuticals:** IntelliDrug could potentially shake up the pharmaceutical industry by introducing a new generation of implantable drug delivery systems. - **Medical Devices:** IntelliDrug can lead the advancement of medical devices with the potential to transform drug delivery and patient treatment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Friendly Medication Dispenser Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mymemo-pill-dispenser.md) - [Integrated Smartwatch Pillbox Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch-pillbox.md) - [Smart Pill Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-pill-organizers.md) - [Medication Organizer Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medication-clock.md) - [Wall-Mounted Medication Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadence-medication-dispenser.md) - [Scar Tissue-Evading Implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medical-implant.md) - [Modernized Waste-Free Medication Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-medicine-dispenser.md) - [Medication-Holding Bedside Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatic-pill-organizer.md) - [Child-Friendly Medication Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singing-bottle.md)
