Digital Medicines will be the same
pharmaceuticals you take today, with
one small change: each pill will
also contain a tiny sensor
that can communicate, via our digital
health feedback system, vital
information about your medication-

smartphone
experience
• For
success,
focus
on:
• Sensing—gathering
data
about
the
context
in
and
around
the
user
and
device
• ComputaFon—processing
of
data
to
make
it
