Devices and methods are provided for controlled delivery of medical substances such as drugs and medication. For example, a microchip medical substance delivery device includes a control system, and a medical substance capsule that comprises a medical substance contained with a reservoir, and a release structure to release the medical substance from within the reservoir in response to an activation signal generated by the control system. The control system comprises a wireless signal receiving element, processor, actuator circuit, and power supply source. The wireless signal receiving element captures a wireless signal. The processor detects an activation code embedded within the captured wireless signal, and generates an actuator control signal in response to the detection of the activation code. The actuator circuit generates the activation signal in response to the actuator control signal generated by the processor. The power supply source provides power to operate components of the control system.
