Medication Adherence Scoring System and Method

A method of measuring a user's adherence to a medication schedule, comprising:

• tracking the time between medication doses;
• alerting the user when it is time to take a medication dose;
• tracking the elapsed time between the alert and when the user takes the medication dose;
• and
• comparing the elapsed time to a scoring metric to calculate a score, wherein the score is representative of the user's adherence to the medication schedule.

A method of improving a user's adherence to a medication schedule composed of at least two designated time periods, comprising:

• tracking the time between medication doses within a first designated time period;
• alerting the user when it is time to take a medication dose within the first designated time period;
• tracking the elapsed time between the alert and when the user takes each medication dose within the first designated time period;
• comparing the elapsed times to a scoring metric to calculate a score, wherein the score is representative of the user's adherence to the medication schedule during the first designated time period of the medication schedule;
• and
• incentivizing the user to improve their score for a second designated time period of the medication schedule by assigning a grade that is representative of the user's adherence to the medication schedule during the first designated time period.
