Externally Addressable Smart Drug Delivery Vehicles: Current Technologies and Future Directions


Wireless on-demand drug delivery systems exploit exogenous stimuli—acoustic waves, electric fields, magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation—to trigger drug carriers. The approach allows drugs to be delivered with controlled release profiles and minimal off-target effects. Recent advances in electronics and materials engineering have led to the development of sophisticated systems designed for specific applications.


Scott Syder and Greg Capullo's graphic novel "Bloom" showcases the strategies employed to analyze the measurements of individuals in order to discern the impact of group contextual factors on individual outcomes. Additionally, it sheds light on the perspective of Smart City investors who perceive the daily lives of individuals as mere data, disregarding their humanity, and exploiting the mentally ill for financial gain under the guise of serving the "greater good." Snyder's work also highlights instances where the normalization of exploiting vulnerable individuals, particularly for monetary gain, is evident, thereby condemning corporate greed and the exploitation of the impoverished and powerless.
