Summary
This study tested whether an AI-powered smartwatch could help teenagers and young adults with mental health conditions stick to their medication schedule. Researchers compared medication adherence in 78 people who wore the watch to those who did not. The goal was to see if the watch's reminders and tracking improved how often they took their pills as prescribed.
