Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Aripiprazole + IEM
Arm Description
Subjects will receive an intervention consisting of a drug-device combination that consists of an aripiprazole tablet with a tiny sensor embedded within it referred to as an Ingestible Event Marker (IEM) . They will discontinue their normally prescribed oral aripiprazole tablets and will take the aripiprazole(2, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 mg) + IEM once daily for the 8-week assessment period for this trial.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Assessment of the Functionality of an Integrated Call Center for DMS by Adult Subjects With SCH, MDD, or BP1 Who Were Treated With Oral Aripiprazole.
The primary outcome was assessed as the establishment of a functional and operational integrated call center with coordinated feedback to the subject and investigative site to optimize the use of DMS as measured by:
Inbound calls (ie, calls from the subject to the integrated call center) by help type;
Outbound calls (ie, calls from the integrated call center to the subject) by help type.
The number presented in the table is the number of subjects in trial who made (inbound) or received (outbound) calls

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will assess the helpfulness of the integrated call center in optimizing use of the Digital Medicine System in adult subjects with Schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder, or Bipolar Disorder taking oral aripiprazole.
Detailed Description
The Digital Medicine System includes a drug-device combination of aripiprazole + an ingestible event marker (IEM), a wearable sensor (skin patch), and application software to convey the level of activity and rest, and to mark events through the act of ingestion.
Physician and self-report are the most commonly used to assess medication compliance yet studies have consistently found that healthcare providers' subjective judgments of medication compliance are often inaccurate, with a tendency for practitioners to overestimate subject adherence. The sponsor's intent is to develop a system that will benefit future subjects by providing the ability to measure their medication-taking behavior in an objective manner and being able to monitor several physiologic parameters.
