Wireless, noninvasive therapeutic drug monitoring system for saliva measurement toward medication management of schizophrenia

Zupeng Yan et al.

Summary: As an efficient patient management tool, decentralized therapeutic drug monitoring provides new possibilities for adherence and health management in schizophrenia. A wireless smart lollipop system was used to study the temporal metabolism of clozapine in rat saliva, providing real-time, noninvasive drug tracking. The system achieved highly sensitive and efficient sensing performance, allowing continual salivary drug level monitoring with distinctive pharmacokinetics for different routes of drug administration. This noninvasive saliva analysis system has the potential for patient-centered and personalized pharmacotherapy and adherence management.
