Data-Enriched Edible Pharmaceuticals (DEEP) with Bespoke Design, Dose and Drug Release

Data-enriched edible pharmaceuticals (DEEP) is an approach to obtain personalized medicine, in terms of flexible and precise drug doses, while at the same time containing data, embedded in quick response (QR) codes at a single dosage unit level. The aim of this study was to fabricate DEEP with a pat...
