1. An ingestible device comprising:

  • a support comprising a planar surface;

    a first conductive material having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the first conductive material is positioned on the planar surface of the support;

    an electronic component comprising a digestible second conductive material positioned on the second surface of the first conductive material, wherein the first conductive material is positioned between the second conductive material and the support, wherein the first conductive material is configured to receive an integrated circuit upon the second surface, adjacent to the second conductive material, and provide an electrical interconnect between the second conductive material and the integrated circuit; and

    a cover comprising an electrically insulative material deposited over the electronic component, wherein the electrically insulative material comprises a digestible material.
