etectRx has developed the first communications technology platform designed, developed, and validated specifically for ingestible and implantable sensors. The platform includes communications specifications, integrated circuits, and reference designs targeted at the development of self-powered/extremely low power, low

cost, and low bandwidth ingestible RF sensors and readers. The first ingestible event marker that may be read without direct skin contact was recently cleared by the FDA for medical and pharmaceutical applications. This device was built on the etecRx platform.

The presentation will describe the etectRx technology and platform components, applications and usage models. It will also include description of real world uses and results from clinical studies of devices using the platform.

etectRx is a privately held digital health company based in Gainesville, Florida seeking to advance patient medication adherence through it's platform for digital medicine and ingestible sensors. etectRx's flagship product, the ID-Cap System, is an FDA cleared ingestible event marker. It is comprised of an ingestible sensor in a gelatin capsule that upon ingestion transmits a very low power radio message to a wearable reader. The reader sends the data to a patient facing smartphone app and secure cloud-based server to enable reliable tracking of ingestion events. To learn more about etectRx, visit https://etectrx.com/.
