The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first drug that can be tracked in the patient's body so that the doctor can remotely check whether the patient has taken the medicine or not.

Tablet under the trade name Abilify MyCite, according to Air force, contains not only the psychotropic drug aripiprazole, which is prescribed for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression, but also a special sensor that registers the fact of taking the drug.

This information is transferred to the smartphone and - with the patient's consent - can be forwarded to the attending physician.

Experts hope that this will help monitor compliance with doctor's orders, although the company that produces the “digital pills” does not guarantee this.

In the description of the drug emphasizes that taking pills Abilify MyCite You can't monitor in real time or rely on sensor data in emergency situations because the sensor is activated during the digestion process - which may take some time or not happen at all.

Gastric juice will help

“Digital tablets” should not be taken by older people suffering from mental disorders due to senile dementia.

A grain-sized sensor is activated upon contact with gastric juice. It may take from half an hour to two hours after taking the pill to detect this contact.

The US regulator, Mitchell Mathis, believes that tracking medication prescribed for mental illness may be useful for some patients.

“The FDA supports the development and implementation of drug technology and is committed to working with companies to understand how technology can help patients and clinicians,” he says.

Recall that earlier scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and the University of Nebraska Lincoln have created smart dressing, through which wounds and skin lesions heal three times faster than with conventional medical devices used in this situation.
