Brief Summary:
Feasibility study of using a digital health feedback system (DHFS) to monitor medication-taking and physiologic and behavioral parameters in patients with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Hypothesis: Using a digital health feedback system to characterize medication-taking behavior and activities of daily living is safe and tolerable in appropriately selected patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
Detailed Description:
In this 4-week observational study conducted between May 2010 and May 2011 at 2 US academic clinical study sites, 12 adults with bipolar disorder and 16 adults with schizophrenia (all diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria) utilized a digital health feedback system (DHFS). All subjects were on a stable regimen of oral medication. The DHFS utilized a digital tablet, consisting of an ingestion sensor that was embedded in a tablet containing nonpharmacologic excipients, which subjects coingested with their regularly prescribed medication.
The primary study objective was to compare the accuracy of DHFS in confirming digital tablet ingestion versus a method of directly observed ingestion; secondary aims included characterization of adherence and physiologic measures longitudinally in these cohorts.
