US 11,276,487 B2 · Systems and methods for providing prescription medication delivery and reminder services

Abstract

Novel systems, methods, and devices for implementing prescription delivery and for providing medication reminders are provided. One system for providing a prescription medication delivery service operates by a server configured to receive a requested delivery signal including delivery coordinator information and prescription medication information. A physician device receives input relating to a selection of a prescription delivery option within a pharmacy dispensing system and transmits a corresponding request message associated with the prescription delivery option via the communication network. A prescription delivery service server configured receives the request message via the communication network and coordinates delivery of the prescription medication based at least in part upon the delivery coordinator and the prescription medication information.
