  • Publication number: 20200170510
    Abstract: A system and method dispense medication through a smart pill that holds at least one medication and a mobile device capable of communicating wirelessly with the smart pill. The mobile device includes a user interface for communicating with a patient and at least one application program that includes program instructions for measuring an aspect of a patient's physiology. A processor on the mobile device is configured to execute a program for monitoring and communicating with the smart pill, causing at least one of the applications to execute and test the patient, and on the basis of the outcome of the testing, issue a signal for timing and amount of medication release from the smart pill to the patient. The application programs may include a cognitive test, an eye test, a balance test, and a reaction test which may use the display, camera, speaker and microphone of the mobile device.
