Relapses, deterioration of cognitive functioning, negative symptoms, neuroleptic resistance are the examples of many consequences of noncompliance in schizophrenia. In order to improve the compliance, schizophrenic patients treated in an outpatient department in a traditional way have been given an additional possibility of contacting their doctors with the use of a special application on a portable electronic device. Other functions of this application are possibilities of PANSS, Calgary and CGI measurements and cognitive trainings for the patients. This type of a remote contact with patients can be an effective tool in the work in an outpatient setting. The compliance was assessed using a telepsychiatric system, sending reminders: 1 hour before the planned dose to remind them that drug intake is approaching, and at the moment of intake to check if they took the drug. In general the compliance in the group of schizophrenic patients in remission is very low, however the telemedicine system improves the compliance in this group of patients, in which the compliance is the worst.
