Smart Medicine


First time I've seen a report that places the arrival of sensor-enabled medicines to such a short time frame—one to two years. The lead from this Wall Street Journal report points out
Taking medication haphazardly—skipping doses, lapsing between refills or taking pills beyond their expiration date—has been linked to health complications and hundreds of millions of wasted dollars for insurers and hospitals.
I wonder how these developers are planning for people who take more than one medicine. None of the devices shown here seem to be readily adaptable to my regimen.
