CHECK IT OUT

The ABILIFY MYCITE is an ingestable pill with an embedded sensor to detect if a patient has consumed prescribed medication. There are a few other components required to make this pill work. They include a sensor patch, the MYCITE smartphone app and the web-based secure Dashboard portal.

Here’s a video from CBC News that describes what the digital pill is and how it works:

It was designed specifically to help mental health patients with the following conditions stay on track with their medication regimen:

  • Schizophrenia
  • Bipolar I disorder
  • Major Depressive Disorder

Physicians are also of the opinion that the pill can be used by patients who tend to forget to take their medication.

Here is the FDA press release on the approval of the ABILIFY MYCITE pill.
