Exploratory Trial to Assess the Functionality of an Integrated Call Center for the Digital Medicine System

The Digital Medicine System includes a drug-device combination of aripiprazole + an ingestible event marker (IEM), a wearable sensor (skin patch), and application software to convey the level of activity and rest, and to mark events through the act of ingestion. Physician and self-report are the most commonly used to assess medication compliance yet studies have consistently found that healthcare providers' subjective judgments of medication compliance are often inaccurate, with a tendency for practitioners to overestimate subject adherence. The sponsor's intent is to develop a system that will benefit future subjects by providing the ability to measure their medication-taking behavior in an objective manner and being able to monitor several physiologic parameters.
