I am a pharmacist and would like help putting an NFC tag in a 3D printed bottle cap to monitor when med was taken. Monetary compensation plus unlimited coffee for 3 months for workable model.

Have you considered using NFC stickers on or under existing lids as a quick first test? For prototyping the software part of your system that should be sufficient and for actual implementation you wouldn’t want to use 3D printing anyways.

Not sure. Just a pharmacist and idea guy. Would love to discuss it further with you and others.
We talked before an I’m familiar with your use-case. I don’t think NFC is how you want to go with this. You need a separate reader (a phone would work) but more importantly, you need the patient to scan the bottle or cap, which sort of defeats the purpose. You need something passive.
I still think a Bluetooth low-energy device with a cap button like in that Amazon bottle cap is the best way to go. Given your “want to do good” approach, I bet that company will license it to you.
This problem has been solved. You just need to solve it cheaper for your plan to work.
