…………also announced on August 3rd, 2012

“the company, Proteus Digital Health, gained FDA approval for its 1 square millimeter device (the size of a grain of sand), which it believes will “shift the care paradigm” into an era of digital medicine.

According to Proteus Digital Health’s website:

Digital Medicines are the same pharmaceuticals you take today, with one small change: each pill also contains a tiny sensor that can communicate, via our digital health feedback system, vital information about your medication-taking behaviors and how your body is responding.” http://www.sott.net/articles/show/249173-Microchip-Laden-Drugs-Given-FDA-Approval

 

 

and more here how it can be used in conjunction with a mark, or patch as they call it:

This information is transferred through the user’s body tissue to a patch worn on the skin that detects the signal and marks the precise time an ingestible sensor has been taken

PS
looks like that proteus received fda approval was a few days earlier and I can't find a tie in with an executive order etc to pin the tail on obummer.
