Abstract
Methods, systems and compositions that allow for treating a patient according to a patient customized therapeutic regimen are provided. Embodiments of the invention include obtaining dosage administration information from a patient and using the same to tailor a therapeutic regimen for the patient. Embodiments of the invention further include preparing and forwarding to the patient physical pharmaceutical dosages based on the customized therapeutic regimen.
Claims16
A method for customizing a therapeutic regimen for a patient, the method comprising:
- generating, by a signal generation element of a first device while inside the patient, actual dosage administration data comprising confirmatory data that a first medical composition associated with a prescribed therapeutic regimen has actually been administered to the patient, wherein the first device is physically associated with the first medical composition, wherein the signal generation element generates the signal by encoding the actual dosage administration data into a conductive signal;
- transmitting, by the first device, the conductive signal containing the actual dosage administration data, to a signal receiving device associated with a body of the patient, through an electrical current formed between the first device and the signal receiving device using the body of the patient as a conductive medium;
- accessing, by an evaluation module associated with an evaluation computer system, the actual dosage administration data from the signal receiving device;
- based on the transmission of the actual dosage administration data from the first device to the signal receiving device, confirming, by the evaluation module, that the first medical composition associated with the prescribed therapeutic regimen has actually been administered to the patient;
- receiving, by the evaluation module, supplemental data associated with the patient, wherein the supplemental data comprises physiological parameter data detected from the body of the patient;
- assessing, by the evaluation module, the actual dosage administration data and the supplemental data;
- generating, by the evaluation module, a recommendation to modify the prescribed therapeutic regimen, the recommendation comprising at least one option that the patient be provided a second device physically associated with a second medical composition different than the first medical composition;
- and
- sending, by the evaluation module, the generated recommendation to a reviewer computer system to implement a modified therapeutic regimen for the patient based on the recommendation.
A system for customizing a therapeutic regimen for a patient, the system comprising:
- a first device physically associated with a first medical composition, the first device comprising a signal generation element configured to generate, while inside the patient, actual dosage administration data comprising confirmatory data that the first medical composition associated with a prescribed therapeutic regimen has actually been administered to the patient by encoding the actual dosage administration data into a conductive signal;
- a signal receiving device configured to be physical associated with a body of the patient and receive, from the first device, the conductive signal containing the actual dosage administration data through an electrical current formed between the first device and the signal receiving device using the body of the patient as a conductive medium;
- an evaluation module associated with an evaluation computer system and configured to:
- access the actual dosage administration data from the signal receiving device;
- based on the transmission of the actual dosage administration data from the first device to the signal receiving device, confirm that the first medical composition associated with the prescribed therapeutic regimen has actually been administered to the patient;
- receive supplemental data associated with the patient, wherein the supplemental data comprises physiological parameter data detected from the body of the patient;
- assess the actual dosage administration data and the supplemental data;
- generate a recommendation to modify the prescribed therapeutic regimen, the recommendation comprising at least one option that the patient be provided a second device physically associated with a second medical composition different than the first medical composition;
- and
- send the generated recommendation to a reviewer computer system to implement a modified therapeutic regimen for the patient based on the recommendation.
