00:00A single shot for years of birth control?
00:03Massachusetts Institute of Technology's innovation has Bill Gates' backing.
00:08Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists, backed by Bill Gates,
00:12developed a one-time birth control shot that lasts for years.
00:16No more daily pills or refills.
00:18This tiny injection could revolutionize global family planning.
00:25Missed meds are a hidden crisis, especially in birth control.
00:30Risking unplanned pregnancies, stress, and long-term health consequences.
00:34Experts from top institutes created slim, tiny long-term shots
00:38that deliver steady medication for months or years, revolutionizing contraception.
00:47Old shots need big needles and polymers, causing pain.
00:50This is a harsh, outdated medical routine still feared.
00:54MIT's new tech forms crystal depots under the skin,
00:57slowly releasing birth control for months or years.
01:01No complex tech needed.
01:05Rat trials showed steady release for three months with 85% drug intact,
01:11ensuring prolonged therapeutic effect stability.
01:13These removable depots may last over a year, offering flexible, long-term control.
01:22Birth control is just the start.
01:24This tech could revolutionize HIV, mental health, and more.
01:28Human trials are next in this medical breakthrough.

01:40One visit, painless micro-needles, steady medication,
01:44removable if needed, and no more daily pill stress.
01:47The brilliance lies in simplicity.
01:53Crystals form their own delivery system.
01:56Ongoing studies across body types show promising early results.
