As healthcare data collection technology advances, the industry faces questions about how to handle automatically collected data. Many modern medical devices can report an incredible variety of health information, with or without a patient's knowledge. One application of this technology is digital pills, also known as smart pills. These are pharmaceuticals that contain an ingestible sensor that transmits data after the pill is consumed. The first digital pill to be approved in the United States was a form of the antipsychotic medication aripiprazole (sold under the trade name Abilify) in 2017. A digital sensor in the pills is activated by the patient's stomach acid and generates an electrical signal that is picked up by a patch on the rib cage and then transmitted to a smartphone app. The technology offers a promising benefit for treating patients who struggle with medication adherence, but critics cite concerns about who should have access to such data and how it can be protected.
