Abstract
An identity standard (a name, cell number, face image, etc.), a therapeutic event standard associated with the identity standard (such as a stored image of a person taking a medication), and a parameter standard associated with the identity standard (e.g. a time range for taking medication) are established. If a transmission (such as a selfie from a cell phone) is observed, that transmission is received and determinations are made as to whether the transmission satisfies the identity standard, the therapeutic event standard, and the parameter standard. If the identity standard, therapeutic event standard, and parameter standard are satisfied, a satisfaction reaction is executed (logging data, sending a confirmation message, etc.).
Claims48
A machine-implemented method comprising:
- establishing, in a processor, a subject identity standard for determining an identity of a subject for a regimen of administering a medication;
- establishing, in said processor, a medication administration standard for determining administration of said medication associated with said subject identity standard, comprising:
- a subject face appearance of a subject face of said subject;
- a medication appearance of said medication;
- and
- an image proximity of said subject face and said medication;
- establishing, in said processor, a medication regimen standard for determining compliance with said regimen of administering said medication associated with said subject identity standard;
- observing for a transmission from a mobile electronic device in said processor;
- responsive to said transmission being observed:
- receiving said transmission in said processor;
- determining whether said transmission satisfies said subject identity standard in said processor;
- determining whether said transmission satisfies said medication administration standard in said processor, comprising:
- identifying a digital image in said transmission;
- executing face recognition of said digital image in said processor to determine whether said subject face is present therein;
- executing object recognition of said digital image in said processor to determine whether said medication is present therein;
- and
- determining from said digital image in said processor that said medication appears proximate said subject face therein;
- determining whether said transmission satisfies said medication regimen standard in said processor;
- and
- responsive to said transmission satisfying said subject identity standard, said medication administration standard, and said medication regimen standard, executing a satisfaction reaction comprising recording in a data store in communication with said processor that said medication has been administered according to said regimen, and at least a portion of said transmission as evidence that said medication has been administered.
