Through the use of apps, wearables, and traceable drugs, the use of technology to improve our health is overwhelming and difficult to tell. Recently, however, researchers at Northwestern University have mastered a method of making electronic therapeutic devices that can be absorbed by the body. Scientists have now created a small device that can repair nerves, which, when functioning, absorbs degradation in the body. This is the world's first "bioelectronics" drug.

Although scientists have just successfully repaired the damaged nerves of rats with the first device made so far, in the future, this small electronic therapy device will play a role in maintaining heart rate.

We often use a variety of electronic devices to treat diseases and treat wounds, but usually must be surgically implanted, so when a malfunction or battery necrosis occurs, the patient must undergo another procedure. This device takes only two weeks to dissolve in the body. Even with two fingers, you can crush them, then turn into sparkling snowflakes, and eventually disappear completely.

Many materials are safe to use in the body, but they change and break down like our own tissues. The new disc-shaped wireless device is about the size of a nickel coin and can stimulate the peripheral nerves with a weak electric shock. More importantly, the device is made entirely of biodegradable materials, which means that when nerve repair is successful, body fluids will naturally decompose and be excreted like other wastes.

This is because although the device is a remote-controlled semiconductor, its raw materials are basically part of our daily dietary intake.

Currently the device has been published in the journal Nature Medicine. Scientists believe that this electronic treatment device will benefit thousands of patients who suffer from nerve damage, stinging and weakness due to sports injuries, accidents, and even typing or texting.

Professor Robert Roberts, the co-author of the study, said: "This device pioneered the 'bioelectronics medicine'. The system relies on programming procedures to achieve positive therapeutic effects, and then the entire device naturally disappears into the body, without any Traces... We are not only excited about the function of this particular device, but to speak more broadly. This is a concept that is moving forward and can be used to improve the way we treat diseases and human injuries." (Internship Compilation: Zhang Peiren's Review: Li Zongze)
