Proteus Digital Health is a company that creates digital medicines that obtain and aggregate various behavioral, physiological, and therapeutic metrics.
Proteus is developing a new category of pharmaceuticals—digital medicine. Digital medicine includes drugs that communicate when they have been taken, wearable sensors that capture physiologic response, applications that support patient self-care and physician decision making, and data analytics to serve the needs of doctors and health systems. The goal of digital medicine is to empower patients and their families, enable physicians and health systems to more effectively manage risk, and ensure that outcomes are reliably achieved.
Proteus Digital Health is working towards creating smart pills and drugs with sensors inside, which are capable of tracking medication adherence. The ingestible sensors of Proteus transmit a signal to a patch worn on the torso once they get to the stomach, sending a digital record to the mobile phone of patients. With permission, caregivers, and doctors can monitor whether or not medications have been taken remotely through the Proteus cloud.
