To monitor the intake of medicine, Proteus has created a system that embeds tiny sensors in pills. When the sensor's chip comes in contact with stomach fluids, it powers up for about five minutes and communicates with a patch worn on the torso. The information can then be conveyed wirelessly via mobile phones to patients and their caregivers. The patch can also keep tabs on sleep patterns and activity levels.
