Tracking Adherence Enables Carer to Identify Patients Who Need Help Good Adherer A patient who takes pills at the same time everyday. No adherence intervention needed. Consistent daily dosing Heart rate Poor Adherer A patient who skips pills some days and has inconsistent dosing time. Reminders or other interventions may be beneficial. Missed dose Inconsistent dosing - amount and time
Tracking Physiology Enables Carers to Identify Problems Early Healthy Volunteer: Regular Sleep Pattern Normal Walking Unstable Walking Neuropsychiatric Patient: Disrupted Sleep Patterns
What is the Ingestible Event Sensor? Active layers Thin-film layers activate and power the IES using stomach electrolytes Integrated Circuit Modulates / pulses the current flow to encode information stored in it Edible Skirt disk Insulating edible material, enhances detected voltage by creating a larger “virtual dipole” Communication through body tissue Electric field is detected by a receiver worn on the patient’s skin
