Smartphone app to help people take psychiatric medication

This trial is testing an artificial intelligence smartphone app designed to help people newly diagnosed with first-episode psychosis stay on track with their oral antipsychotic medication. The app works like a digital reminder and support system that you can use on your own phone. Researchers want to see whether this tool makes it easier for people to take their medication consistently, which can help prevent relapse and reduce hospital visits.

Staying consistent with psychiatric medication is one of the biggest challenges people face after a first psychosis diagnosis, and skipping doses often leads to relapse and hospitalization. Current methods of checking whether people are taking their medication—like pill counts or pharmacy records—don't work well in real-world settings, so this study is testing whether a smartphone app could be a practical way to support medication adherence and improve outcomes.
