Methods and Systems for Patient Self-Management

A computer-usable medium comprising a computer program code configured to cause a processor to execute one or more functions comprising:

• (a) receiving via input device and storing in electronic format a prescription for a dosage of at least one medication, wherein the dosage varies based upon at least one patient parameter;
• (b) automatically electronically transmitting a first message at an identified time to an electronic device associated with the patient, wherein the first message prompts the patient to input a measurement of the at least one patient parameter;
• (c) receiving via electronic signal from the patient's electronic device, a second message comprising the measurement of the at least one patient parameter;
• (d) automatically calculating and electronically transmitting to the patient's electronic device, a third message comprising the dosage of the at least one medication based on the measurement of the at least one patient parameter;
• and
• (e) repeating steps (b)-(d) at identified intervals.

A method for managing patient care, the method comprising:

• (a) receiving from a health care provider, via input device and storing in electronic format, a selection of a specific patient treatment algorithm from a list of pre-defined treatment algorithms, said selection corresponding to a patient's health care status;
• (b) automatically generating a series of prompts based on the selected algorithm, said prompts requesting patient-specific data;
• (c) receiving from said health care provider, via input device and storing in electronic format, said patient-specific data in response to prompts, said data providing a patient-customized algorithm;
• (d) automatically generating and transmitting an electronic message to an electronic device associated with the patient, said electronic message being generated based on said patient customized algorithm.
