Sensors, systems, and methods for monitoring pharmaceutical components

A monitoring system comprising:

• a monitored pharmaceutical component, the monitored pharmaceutical component comprising:
• a body;
• electronics within the body, the electronics being configured to detect forces acting on the monitored pharmaceutical component, to generate data indicative of the forces acting on the monitored pharmaceutical component over time, and to transmit the data;
• a plurality of unmonitored pharmaceutical components, each unmonitored pharmaceutical component of the plurality of unmonitored pharmaceutical components comprising a body, the body of each unmonitored pharmaceutical component substantially corresponding to the body of the monitored pharmaceutical component;
• and
• a device external from the monitored pharmaceutical component, the device comprising a processor, and the device being configured to:
• receive, from the electronics of the monitored pharmaceutical component, the data indicative of the forces acting on the monitored pharmaceutical component over time, and
• predict, based on the data indicative of the forces acting on the monitored pharmaceutical component over time, degradation of the plurality of unmonitored pharmaceutical components.
