An Investigation to Test Remote-Controlled Drug-Delivery Implant Launched on SpaceX CRS-26

A new remotely controlled drug-delivery implant could one day provide extended, adjustable medication for patients who need daily medicine but lack medical access — even those on spacecraft headed for Mars. Houston Methodist Research Institute researchers have developed such an implant. They are leveraging the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory to test the implant’s ability to be controlled in space from a device on Earth.
