The digital medicine system (DMS), composed of antipsychotic medication co-encapsulated with an ingestible sensor, wearable sensor patches, and a smartphone application, was developed to objectively measure medication ingestion. We assessed performance and acceptance of the DMS in subjects with psychotic disorders.Methods: This was an 8-week open-label, single-arm, multicenter, Phase 4 pragmatic study (NCT 03568500; EudraCT #2017-004602-17). Eligible adults were diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or first-episode psychosis; were receiving aripiprazole, quetiapine, olanzapine, or risperidone; and could use the DMS with the application downloaded on a personal smartphone. The primary endpoint was good patch coverage, defined as the proportion of days over the assessment period where ≥ 80.0% of patch data was available, or an ingestion was detected. Exploratory endpoints included a survey on user satisfaction, used to assess acceptance of the DMS. Safety analyses included the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).Results: From May 25, 2018 to March 22, 2019, 55 subjects were screened and 44 were enrolled. Good patch coverage was achieved on 63.4% of days assessed and the DMS generated an adherence metric of ≥ 80.0%, reflecting the percentage of ingestion events expected when good patch coverage was reported. Most subjects (53.5%) were satisfied with the DMS. Medical device skin irritations were the only TEAEs reported.Conclusion: The DMS had sufficient performance in, and acceptance from, subjects with psychotic disorders and was generally well tolerated.Keywords: digital medicine, antipsychotic, digital health, medication adherenceFowler JCCope NKnights JFang HSkubiak TShergill SSPhiri PRathod SPeters-Strickland TDove Medical Pressarticledigital medicineantipsychoticdigital healthmedication adherenceNeurosciences.
