Abstract:
1. A system for monitoring compliance with a medication regimen comprising: a patch and an RFID transceiver; the patch includes an RFID apparatus and a sensor and the patch is configured to be removably securable to a body of a biological organism; the sensor is in electrical communication with the RFID apparatus and is configured to inspect for the presence of at least one biological material of a biological organism for the presence of a detectable agent; the RFID apparatus is configured to communicate a result of the inspection to the RFID transceiver; the RFID transceiver is configured to receive the results of the inspection and is further configured to transmit the results of the inspection to a server or remote location; the RFID transceiver is configured to request a further inspection after the step of transmitting the result to the RFID transceiver; the server or remote location configured to determine a positive or negative result after receiving the result of the inspection; the server or remote location is configured to request a new inspection of a different parameter based on a positive result and the server or remote location is configured to reinitiate the inspection by transmitting a further signal to the RFID apparatus based on a negative result; wherein the RFID apparatus and/or RFID transceiver includes a memory portion; wherein the memory portion can store results of successive inspections and determine a compliance profile; and wherein the system is configured to initiate inspection by at least one of the following: the RFID transceiver initiates an inspection each time the biological organism comes within range of the RFID transceiver, the RFID transceiver initiates inspections at set times or intervals, and the RFID apparatus initiates communication at the set times or intervals from the RFID transceiver.
