I suppose we'll see whether the FDA will approve this. I can understand the arguments that a sensor-embedded Abilify might be beneficial to the extent that it might help increase compliance to the medication (although, as I pointed out in my previous post, it might also have the reverse effect) and also to the extent that it might give doctors some idea how well the medication is working, but I personally find this whole idea to be too problematic.
