A Trial to Assess a Wearable Patch's Functioning to Detect Medication Ingestion

This is an open-label study to determine the accuracy of ingestible event marker (IEM) detection and detection latency of the D-Tect patch by completing a series of patch applications and IEM ingestions in the clinic.

The participants were enrolled in two cohorts within this study- Cohort 1: healthy participants received the placebo-embedded IEM tablets, Cohort 2: participants with serious mental illness (SMI) i.e schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, or bipolar I disorder received Abilify MyCite® tablets (aripiprazole-embedded IEM tablets).

This single-center trial was conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study is up to approximately 17 days.
