Gainesville-Based Company Develops Digital Pill

UF Innovate | The Hub resident client etectRx, a privately-held digital health company, has developed a digital pill that could help patients keep track of their medications.

Eric Buffkin, the senior vice president, helped develop the ID-Capsule that is made out of hard gelatin and an embedded ingestible sensor. “You don’t go to a technology store and say ‘hey can I buy an in-body radio’ there’s not a lot of those around,” Buffkin said.
