    In response to ak977, I do believe that those are valid concerns to have over privacy. What I would propose as a potential solution is to have the transmitted data password protected, where the individual sending or receiving the information are the only two with that password to view. We do live in a data dependent society where multiple forms of communication, payments, and important information is transferred electronically. It would be foolish not to implement some form of security to the information that is being transferred. As for your second point, from my understanding the pill is meant for health care professionals to determine whether the medication was actually being taken or not. That would take the lying factor out of the equation where the doctor is well aware if the medication was actually taken or not and can adjust accordingly based of that information. The doctor can determine whether there needs to be additional action taken in order to take the medication.
