Digital-medicine systems can objectively confirm medication ingestion, but interpretation of a no-detection day depends on whether the wearable receiver was in contact with the body. We analyzed 997 person-days from 20 outpatients prescribed aripiprazole through Abilify MyCite by integrating ingestion records with patch-contact data; 17 participants also contributed smartphone sensing. Of 322 days without a detected ingestion, 53.7% had insufficient patch wear. Counting all no-detection days as nonadherent yielded an apparent nonadherence rate of 32.3%, whereas conditioning on adequate wear yielded 18.1%. Because adherence during patch-off periods is unobserved, the rate is bounded between 14.9% and 32.3%. These findings support a three-state outcome that distinguishes detected ingestion, no ingestion despite adequate wear, and patch-off or indeterminate days. Among 744 patch-worn days, detected ingestion was more likely on days that more closely matched each participant's usual activity pattern (odds ratio 1.52, 95% credible interval 1.14-2.03) and when participants spent more time at home around the habitual dose period (1.31, 1.04-1.64). These behavioral associations were exploratory and characterize the context of medication-taking rather than causal effects. Overall, device wear was integral to interpretation of the adherence outcome, and passive behavioral measures were most interpretable after observation status was established.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
