1. A method of managing a therapeutic regimen for treatment of a patient, the therapeutic regimen specifying a pharmaceutical dosage of the medical composition and a dosing schedule, the method comprising:
- receiving confirmatory data from a first device associated with a patient at a second device associated with a body of the patient when the first device is ingested by the patient and is activated upon contact with an electrically conductive body fluid via completion of a partial power source, wherein the first device is electrically coupled to the body of the patient, wherein the confirmatory data represents actual ingestion of the pharmaceutical dosage of the medical composition by the patient, and wherein the confirmatory data is produced by the first device and is transmitted to the second device;
receiving at the second device physiological data indicating a response of the patient to the pharmaceutical dosage of the medical composition, wherein the second device is electrically coupled external to the body of the patient;
evaluating the confirmatory data and the physiological data to determine when a change in the therapeutic regimen is desired; and
modulating the therapeutic regimen when the change is determined to be desired, wherein modulating the therapeutic regimen comprises changing at least one of the pharmaceutical dosage of the medical composition and the dosing schedule based on the evaluation of the confirmatory data and the physiological data.
