It's pretty amazing, and makes me think of Ramez Naam's Nexus pills.

"But next up for Rogers and his team: resorbable devices that go beyond 
sensing to actively help in treatment. For example, Rogers hopes to 
build a resorbable device that could electrically stimulate damaged 
nerves to accelerate the healing, as well as programmable devices that 
could release timed doses of drugs."
