"Gainesville, Florida-based etectRx has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its ID-Cap System, a prescription ingestible system that sends adherence event logs to an external medical device.Similar to the system pioneered by etectRx’s high-profile competitor, Proteus Digital Health, the ID-Cap’s core is a standard capsule containing a sensor that transmits a message once it comes into contact with stomach fluid.
However, the ID-Cap System’s receiving device does not need to be adhered to the user’s skin — as is the case for Proteus’ system — but can instead be worn on a lanyard. This receiver then forwards the adherence event data to secure provider web portal, by way of an intermediary patient smartphone app."
