The ID-Cap System consists of a wearable reader for ambulatory recording of events signaled by swallowing the ID-Capsule which contains the ID-Tag, an ingestible sensor. The ID-Cap System is intended to log, track, and trend intake times and enables unattended data collection for clinical applications. The ID-Cap System may be used in any instance where quantifiable analysis of ingestion events, including events signaled by the co-incidence with or co-ingestion with the ID-Capsule, is desirable.

The ID-Cap System is an ingestible event marker. It utilizes an in vivo communications technology that emits a very low power radio frequency (RF) digital message from within the patient after a sensor is ingested and detects the signal using a wearable Reader. The ID-Cap System is comprised of the ID-Capsule, the ID-Cap Reader, and related software which allows data to be displayed for the patient and clinician. The ID-Capsule consists of a standard pharmaceutical capsule shell containing the ID-Tag (the ingestible sensor). The ID-Cap Reader is a wearable device, which receives the message from the ID-Tag, verifies the message as being a valid ingestion event, and forwards the data using the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol to data display systems utilized by clinicians and patients.
