Abstract: A method and system for monitoring and analyzing compliance with an internal dosing regimen prescribed to be taken in multiple dose forms includes the steps of detecting internalization of a first dose form to generate a first data point, detecting internalization of a second dose form to generate a second data point, and analyzing the first data point and the second data point. The step of analyzing the first and second data points generates a metric of a variety of possible metric types. The first and second dose forms may be two of any plural number of sequentially-internalized dose forms which generate a like number of sequential data points. Subsequent internalizations of dose forms result in at least a like number of data points being generated.

Abstract: A device useful for oral drug delivery device consisting of: (a) a capsule, tablet or pill designed to disperse in the gastrointestinal system; (b) an RFID tag positioned in the capsule, tablet or pill, the RFID tag comprising an antenna; (c) an object selected from the group consisting of a magnet, a ferromagnetic object, a ferrite object and an electromagnetic shielding object positioned within, over or adjacent the antenna of the RFID tag to alter the antenna characteristics of the RFID tag so that if the RFID tag is interrogated before the capsule, tablet or pill disperses in the gastrointestinal system, the response of the RFID tag is sufficiently altered or attenuated to determine that the capsule, tablet or pill has not dispersed in the gastrointestinal system and so that if the RFID tag is interrogated after the capsule, tablet or pill has dispersed in the gastrointestinal system, the object separates from the RFID tag so that the response of the RFID tag is sufficiently detectable to determine that t
