The FDA has approved Abilify MyCite, a pill with a sensor that digitally tracks whether patients have taken their medication.

“The system works by sending a message from the pill’s sensor to a wearable patch. The patch transmits the information to a mobile application so that patients can track the ingestion of the medication on their smart phone. Patients can also permit their caregivers and physician to access the information through a web-based portal.”
