A pill, associated parts and method of operating the same, includes an ingestible shell, a medicine reservoir or other treatment, sampling or sensing mechanism in the shell, a real-time clock for facilitating timed events, and a processor in the shell. The processor is communication with a controller for releasing medicine from the medicine reservoir or for performing other active functions for the pill. A pill memory is included for storing information about medicine released by the medicine reservoir such as dosage profile and timing profile, or other functions performed by the pill. A communicator is also in the shell for receiving control signals for controlling the release controller and for transmitting the stored information from the pill memory. A tamper resistant bitstring contains identification information for uniquely identifying the pill and secret information for encrypting, decrypting, and authenticating communication via the communicator. |
