On a sweltering hot August day, North Carolina A & T State University football player Kareem McKelvey swallows a small pill two hours before practice. As he progresses through drills and mini-scrimmages, the team’s assistant trainer watches practice from the sideline, holding a small palm pilot-like device. This device, directly linked to the capsule McKelvey had ingested, gives the trainer an accurate reading of his, and up to 98 others’, body temperatures.
