Digital pills

They have new pills out that can sense when you take them, patients wearing a patch that gets sent electrical signals from digestible technology in the pill.  This may soon be standard in medication that is either given to unstable patients, or to patients who may have life threatening consequences if they don't take their medication.

Let me get up on the soapbox, here.  First of all, I was scared, reading the excerpt so that's why I clicked on it.  More knowledge, less fear.  They seem pretty safe.  I think this would be a good option for diabetics, who are already wired in by glucose monitors and insulin pumps.

Secondly, think how awesome it would be to psychiatrists to monitor if the patient has taken too many pills and tried to commit suicide.   So many lives could be saved. 

That is all.
