I told you when Proteus Digital Health, Inc filed for bankruptcy. It's not the technology that failed but a business, it happens. The technology has its place in healthcare. Here is an example how. Adherence monitoring in fact has gained momentum with COVID-19, and despite Proteus' stumble, these circumstances advanced others using the technology. The company etectRx also aim to advance patient medication adherence, a market that's worth around 100-300 million USD/year, have an FDA-aproved concept and even multiple ongoing clinical studies. I’ve asked Harry Travis , President & CEO of etectRx to share some promising insights of the technology. "With more than 1,000 clinical trials suspended since March due to COVID-19, clinical researchers have quickly moved to monitor patients remotely instead of requiring in-person visits to a clinic. EtectRx’s ID-Cap System allows patients to track how they take their medication and provide real-time confirmation of medication ingestion, right from the comfort of their homes. This allows researchers to provide remote, real-time patient monitoring during clinical trials."
