This pill delivers medication days or weeks after it's swallowed

People with chronic conditions, like asthma or heart disease, often need to take medications on a daily basis. But that simple act of remembering each day is a huge problem for many. In fact, for certain conditions, less than 50 percent of people take their medications on time. But researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women's hospital in Boston have come up with a solution: A single pill that sits inside the stomach and delivers medication over an extended period of time.
