Do-It-Yourself (DIY) based Flexible Paper Sensor Based Electronic System for Pill Health Monitoring

Abstract

Here we show, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) integration strategy of a low-cost paper sensor based flexible electronic system, using anisotropic conductive tape. The whole assembly is housed inside the cap of a prescription drug container to continuously monitor health of pills. These flexible modular decal sensors are connected with a central flexible decal electronic interface. Additionally, this simple easy-to-use DIY based integration strategy gives the flexibility to develop customized versions of the system depending on the requirements of different applications. This add-on system is easy to install or remove allowing easier implementation for practical use to monitor pill health using Internet-of-Things devices.
