Scientists have developed a new device inspired by octopus suckers that can deliver drugs without requiring needles or pills. They've already tested it in humans in a small, short trial.
The 0.4 by 0.2 inch (1.1 by 0.6 centimeters) patch can stick to the inner lining of the cheek, stretch across it and increase the absorption of an attached drug.

I can see this as useful for Diabetics and some others that need sustained medications, even for kids as long as they don't bite you putting it in.
