Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring a receiver assembly configured to detect an ingestible event marker signal, the receiver including a disposable component and a reusable component. The methods can include monitoring the skin impedance experienced by the electrodes of the receiver assembly to determine whether the receiver assembly has poor contact quality or is off-body to notify the user accordingly. The methods can also include monitoring a power source level of the receiver assembly, which can be normalized according to the temperature of the receiver assembly, to determine when the power source is at a critical level to notify the user accordingly.
