A survey on an ingestible sensor for evaluating medication adherence in elderly people

Published: 01 July 2015 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we describe an ingestible sensor system to evaluate medication adherence in elderly people. After drug ingestion, an ingestible sensor, attached on the pill, is activated upon contact with gastric fluid and communicates with a wearable monitor that records ingestion data. The monitor records biometric data (e.g. heart rate, blood pressure) and communicates with a secured server, via cellular phone, for storage and further process. Summary reports can be generated back to the phone or potentially to anyone involved with the aged person caring. Clinical research trials proved the effectiveness of the Ingestible Sensor System in evaluating medication adherence.
