Proteus Digital Health’s Ingestible Sensor Reports When Granny Takes Her Meds

A signal transmitted by the embedded sensor when a pill dissolves is picked up by a Bluetooth-enabled skin patch and sent to a remote phone app, notifying a designated caregiver that dosing is on track – or not. Both Novartis and Otsuka are trying the technology, and Proteus is developing its own line of digitized generics.
