The document outlines a vision for a new patient-centric healthcare system called Intelligent Pharmaceuticals that uses edible sensor technology and mobile devices to monitor medication adherence and physiological responses, providing data to patients, caregivers, and clinicians to improve outcomes through personalized treatment plans and community support. Key aspects of the system include sensors embedded in pills to detect ingestion, wearable devices to continuously monitor vital signs, and apps and web portals for sharing data and receiving feedback to encourage medication compliance.
