Intelligent Microelectrodes Array for Schizophrenia Treatment Monitoring

Abstract

Schizophrenia Treatment Monitoring Challenges:➢Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a mental disorder that affects more than 23 million people worldwide [1].➢PANSS and BPRS are mental subjective examinations performed by a psychiatrist with final scores that reflect the patient's mental condition.➢Clozapine (CLZ) is considered the most effective antipsychotic medication for schizophrenia [1]. Despite the superior efficacy of CLZ, it is significantly underutilized due to the unavailable objective tests to measure CLZ efficacy, resulting sub-optimal therapy.
