Those are two really big issues you brought up. How safe is the data being transmitted? What happens if the sensor is not capable of working? There are cases where sensors do not transmit correct data or do not transmit data at all. In my opinion this device should not be used in emergency. We are not sure how reliable this pill is. That is why I considered this more of a drug then a device. The goal is make sure the drug is helping the patient. The sensor is just used for tracking. What if the patient takes the pill and the sensor does not work. The effects of the pill will continue to have an impact on the patient, however the sensor will not. This is big problem because the sensor becomes secondary. Can you rely on the sensor then?
