Abstract
A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag device for monitoring at least one of ingestion and digestion by a subject of a solid dosage form includes a substrate attachable to the solid dosage form or at least partially embedded into the surface of the solid dosage form and an RFID tag at least partially formed on the substrate. The RFID tag is configured to generate a signal and transmit the generated signal to an external receiver to facilitate monitoring at least one of ingestion and digestion by the subject of the solid dosage form.
