The FDA has approved a "smart" pill that can tell whether you've taken it as directed and relay that information to a device that your doctor can read to objectively determine compliance.
The medicine is a version of Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co Ltd’s established drug Abilify for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression, containing a tracking device developed by Proteus Digital Health.
Just what we need. Cameras everywhere aren't enough, and Google's "assistant" and similar devices record every word spoken in the home, saving them to the cloud servers. Now, your medications can track you as well.
But there are still some places in the Pacific Northwest where you can get away from it all:
The Yakima Herald reports there is little to no cell phone service along the Mountain Loop Highway that brings travelers to the Big Four Ice Caves near the Verlot ranger station. The caves draw about 50,000 visitors annually. Most 911 calls for the region come from the pay phone at the Verlot Public Service Center.
Frontier Communications owns that phone, and they're going to take it out. So if you want to get away from it all, you'll really be away from it all.
