]]> The day in December 2019 when the wave spread on how a deadly virus named Coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, a city in China, is spreading from human to human through respiration. Soon the emergence of the covid 19 attack led the entire world under a state of shock and the country went under lockdown. Masks, Sanitizers and Social distancing become three lifelines of the person.

The virus went on to become a global pandemic that led to the loss of human life and the breakdown of the entire health system worldwide.

This highly transmissible virus primarily affects the lungs and gets on to damage other organs such as the brain, heart and kidney. The contagious disease left a major impact on the physical as well as mental health of human beings and in no time COVID-19 became a major challenge of the lifetime. The virus went on to become a global pandemic that led to the loss of human life and the breakdown of the entire health system worldwide. However,  some people affected by the virus have recovered quickly through proper treatment, still, they continue to experience symptoms after their recovery as well. The virus has mostly affected the older age group or the person with many serious medical conditions leaving some great negative impacts on the health such as mental and physical exertion, breathing difficulties, body and joint pain, memory and sleep problems, loss of smell or taste, Depression or anxiety, Fever, Dizziness and unable to perform physical or mental activities.

But, there is always a positive side to everything. So does this pandemic! Doctors and researchers have found some positive side effects of the virus in human behaviour and nature.

  1. Health concern becomes the primary thing for people.
  2. keeping their issues aside people started interacting with each other.
  3. A sense of gratitude has emerged in people which offered a new perspective towards life as nothing should be taken for granted.
  4. Covid 19 has taught the importance of humanity and how a helping attitude towards each other can save a life.
  5. People are spending quality time with their loved ones
  6. People have started following their hobbies.
  7. People have understood the importance of hygiene.

Other than this, some of the positive outcomes of the virus towards nature are:

  1. environmental pollution has decreased excessively due to no traveling and no social activities 
  2. road accidents have slowed down 
  3. Rivers & lakes look cleaner.
  4. Since the people have locked themselves in the houses the wildlife has filled the open space.

People have faced good and bad experiences after the COVID-19 attack. Although we have adapted to the new normal situation and the lives have come on track again, we can’t deny the fact that somewhere or the other, lives can never be the same as they were in terms of mentally and physically.

People have faced good and bad experiences after the COVID-19 attack. Although we have adapted to the new normal situation and the lives have come on track again, we can’t deny the fact that somewhere or the other, lives can never be the same as they were in terms of mentally and physically. Returning to normalcy in future will be quite difficult for those who lost their loved ones in this pandemic. The pandemic has left a strong message that we should move towards a green future. Certainly, the virus has upended the world for a while but it’s now deteriorating. However, the side effects of COVID-19  on human lives will last long.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recently approved a pill with sensor that digitally tracks if patients have ingested their medication

AbilifyMyCite (aripiprazole tablets with sensor) has an ingestible sensor embedded in the pill that records that the medication was taken. The product is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, acute treatment of manic and mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder and for use as an add-on treatment for depression in adults.

The system works by sending a message from the pill’s sensor to a wearable patch. The patch transmits the information to a mobile application so that patients can track the ingestion of the medication on their smart phone. Patients can also permit their caregivers and physician to access the information through a web-based portal.

“Being able to track ingestion of medications prescribed for mental illness may be useful for some patients,” said Mitchell Mathis, M.D., director of the Division of Psychiatry Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “The FDA supports the development and use of new technology in prescription drugs and is committed to working with companies to understand how technology might benefit patients and prescribers.”

It is important to note that AbilifyMyCite’s prescribing information (labeling) notes that the ability of the product to improve patient compliance with their treatment regimen has not been shown. AbilifyMyCite should not be used to track drug ingestion in “real-time” or during an emergency because detection may be delayed or may not occur.

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe and disabling brain disorder. About 1 percent of Americans have this illness. Typically, symptoms are first seen in adults younger than 30 years of age.

Symptoms of those with schizophrenia include hearing voices, believing other people are reading their minds or controlling their thoughts, and being suspicious or withdrawn. Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is another brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. The symptoms of bipolar disorder include alternating periods of depression and high or irritable mood, increased activity and restlessness, racing thoughts, talking fast, impulsive behavior and a decreased need for sleep.

AbilifyMyCite contains a Boxed Warning alerting health care professionals that elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. AbilifyMyCite is not approved to treat patients with dementia-related psychosis. The Boxed Warning also warns about an increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents and young adults taking antidepressants. The safety and effectiveness of Abilify-MyCite have not been established in pediatric patients. Patients should be monitored for worsening and emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. AbilifyMyCite must be dispensed with a patient Medication Guide that describes important information about the drug’s uses and risks.

In the clinical trials for Abilify, the most common side effects reported by adults were nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, dizziness, uncontrollable limb and body movements (akathisia), anxiety, insomnia, and restlessness. Skin irritation at the site of the MyCite patch placement may occur in some patients.

Prior to initial patient use of the product, the patient’s health care professional should facilitate use of the drug, patch and app to ensure the patient is capable and willing to use the system.
