Attached to some reservoir that has drug and it's covered by some gold member and -- through radio frequency became activated a chip -- far away.

And they drug that that memory melts and the drug gets into the system cooperates the patient the doctor can do it and they're working now this is good for twenty days but they're working on getting it for about a year so -- lot of Medicare since that's such as diabetes chemotherapy.
