Abstract
Devices, systems, methods, and software for providing remote medical diagnosis and therapy to a subject comprising: a module for conducting telecommunications with a telemedicalist; a module for applying a diagnostic or a therapeutic analysis; an apparatus for dispensing one or more medical items from an inventory of medical items, the inventory of medical items risk profiled to a subject, a population, a venue, or a situation; and optionally, a biosensor apparatus.
Claims13
A computer-implemented method for distributing medicine to a plurality of subjects, comprising:
- storing a medical inventory of one or more medical items in a non-refillable container, the non-refillable container being configured for wireless communication to automatically dispense at least a portion of the one or more medical items to one of the subjects upon receipt of a signal, the one or more medical items being selected for inclusion in the medical inventory, and the selection of the one or more medical items being based on a result of risk profiling the subject associated with the non-refillable container;
- determining, at a remote device, whether or not to transmit a signal causing the non-refillable container to be enabled to dispense the at least portion of the one or more medical items;
- and
- in response to determining to transmit the signal, receiving the signal, wherein the signal is transmitted by the remote device, and wherein receiving the signal enables the non-refillable container to automatically dispense the at least a portion of the one or more medical items to the subject,
- wherein the determination step includes using at least an observed, a measured, or a reported biometric data of the subject generated during a healthcare encounter between the subject and a diagnostic device, and
- wherein the risk profiling includes a processor-executed digital media-containing software using at least the biometric data to calculate a statistical probability that an immediate or future adverse change in a health or an economic condition of the subject will require a current or a future medical treatment for the subject involving the at least a portion of the one or more medical items immediately or during a future time period, or using at least the biometric data as input to at least a machine learning technique to classify a current or a future health or economic risk for the subject or a population that includes the subject that requires a current or a future medical treatment for the subject involving the at least a portion of the one or more medical items.
3 more elements
A medicine distribution system comprising:
- a non-refillable container adapted to contain therein one or more medical items and further adapted for wireless communication to remotely enable automatic dispensing at least a portion of the one or more medical items to a subject in response to receipt of a signal;
- a remote device adapted to provide diagnosis of or therapy to the subject based on an observed or a reported biometric data of the subject following a healthcare encounter between the subject and a diagnosis device, the remote device comprising a processor for executing a digital media-containing software, the software adapted to,
- using at least the biometric data to calculate a statistical probability that an immediate or future adverse change in a health condition of the subject will require a current or a future medical treatment for the subject involving the at least a portion of the one or more medical items immediately or during a future time period,
- using at least the biometric data as input to at least a machine learning technique to classify a current or a future health or economic risk for the subject or a population that includes the subject that requires a current medical treatment for the subject involving the at least a portion of the one or more medical items, and
- transmitting the signal to the non-refillable container to enable it to dispense.
