“It's interesting, it's as close to reality as possible and probably the truth.” (Public participant, man, 31 years old)
“There will no longer be any doubt about taking or forgetting to take medication, and the monitoring by the doctor that imposes honesty on the patient.” (Public participant, man, 39 years old)
“This helps to avoid the medical errors that often occur when a patient lies about taking their medication.” (Public participant, man, 29 years old)

“This is spying from inside my body. I would be worried about the side effects too.” (Patient, woman, 64 years old)
“There is far too much indiscretion and invasion of privacy.” (Public participant, woman, 55 years old)
“It’s horrible! It feels as if it’s really touching on intimacy. Ethically, it is frightening. That we use applications is one thing because we can limit its use in, in time, but a pill that we ingest is really to futuristic and too invasive.” (Public participant, woman, 33 years old)
“It is a categorical refusal, I still prefer to take a drug that has less effect but I will never consciously swallow a capsule that allows other people to follow me or my lifestyle, even if already in society we are monitored in many areas without knowing it, my doctor has the right to suggest it after it is up to the person to accept it or not” (Patient, woman, 44 years old)

“We're already guinea pigs and we're becoming robots... “(Patient, man, 64 years old)
“When you're sick, you're already dispossessed of your 'medical' life, especially in a hospital environment, so with that on top of it, no thanks.” (Patient, woman, 53 years old)
“No thanks, I won't take any connected medication, I don't want to be kept under surveillance that much. It contributes to the dehumanisation of our society.” (Neurologist, woman, 29 years old)

“Very bad idea, we're not in a dictatorship. People are free to take care of themselves or not. Even the sick are free.” (Patient, man, 75 years old)
“Policing, (no) more freedom for the patient to stop a treatment that seems to be harming him without being observed.” (Public participant, woman, 40 years old)
“A medication such as you're presenting it to me makes me think of forced treatment. If we refuse to take the medication or forget about it will our doctor contact us to explain ourselves?” (Patient, woman, 25 years old)

“It allows us to monitor the effectiveness, which is already good! And also, that the doctor cares a little bit about his patient through closer monitoring.” (Patient, man, 57 years old)
“The family doctor or specialist may monitor the illness on a day-to-day basis, whether good or bad, and may modify treatment or dosage if there are any problems, undesirable side effects or worsening of the patient's health. In addition, this device could also alert to new complications or illnesses that were not previously detected and that could be managed more quickly.” (Public participant, man, 74 years old)

“That's the problem: if a person doesn't follow a prescription, why would they want it to be known that they're doing whatever.” (Patient, woman, 59 years old)
“In psychiatry, this process can be complicated for patients who are very often suspicious and persecuted, and all the more so if ‘something enters their body’ to keep them under surveillance... For the elderly, connected tools are not news except for the next generation.” (Nurse, woman, 51 years old)
“I don't really see the point of such a complex system, when most of the information can be gathered through interrogation. The patients who are going to accept this device will probably be compliant patients and not the most problematic ones. Compliance is also a matter of education and not ‘policing’. I don't see how being constantly kept under surveillance is going to get the patient to take their medication, other than by telling them they're going to get shouted at by their doctor, which is not our role.” (Dermatologist, woman, 26 years old)

“I don't see the point in it for me, but for people who are out of their minds, why not? It's not very moral, but why not put it on for people without asking their opinion...“ (Public participant, woman, 36 years old)
