Google Is Working on a Pill That Can Figure Out What Ails You

Swallow this pill: Google would like to send nanoparticles coursing through your bloodstream to sniff out disease. It sounds like science fiction, but this product is already in development. "Every test you ever go to the doctor for will be done through this system," said Andrew Conrad, the head of the Life Sciences team at Google X (the lab that gave us Google Glass), during The Wall Street Journal’s WSJD live conference on Tuesday. The nanoparticles could be delivered in a pill you swallow, according to Wired. In his talk, Conrad described how it would work.
