About the study

This study aims to assess how easy it is to use a digital medication system - called MyCite - which is designed to keep track of when anti-psychotic medication is taken. 

There are three parts to the system:

  • A tablet that contains an ingestible (can be swallowed) sensor 
  • A sensor patch that is worn on your chest like a sticky bandage
  • A software system that can see information from the patch on a smartphone or computer.

The system is supposed to help people remember to take their medication and this research is testing whether medication adherence does improve as a result.

Who can take part  

If you are aged 18-65, have a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or first episode psychosis and are currently taking aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine or risperidone anti-psychotic medications (in tablet form) we would really like to hear from you. You also need to have a mobile phone that can download apps.
