This study is testing a smart pillbox device that tracks when patients with bipolar disorder actually take their lithium medication. Researchers want to understand the real timing of when people take this treatment at home, rather than relying on patient memory or estimates. This information will help doctors make better decisions about dose adjustments and blood test timing.
Lithium requires regular blood tests to check medication levels in the body, and these tests are supposed to happen 12 hours after taking the medication. In practice, patients often forget the exact timing, tests get delayed, or schedules don't work out—making it hard for doctors to know if the dose is actually right for each person. This study aims to measure real-world medication timing so doctors can give more accurate care.

You would use a special pillbox that records when you open it to take your medication. The pillbox tracks the timing of your doses automatically, giving researchers accurate information about your real-world medication routine. You would continue taking your lithium normally and attend your regular clinic visits; the study simply adds this tracking device to measure what's already happening.
