Systems And Methods For Medication Adherence And Acknowledgement

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a message module running on the processor to allow a caregiver to create a customized message reminding a patient to take a medication at a dispensing time;
• a communications module to transmit the customized message to a device of the patient and determine if the patient acknowledges the customized message;
• a records module to record any acknowledgement determined by the communications module.

A medication adherence system comprising:

• means for creating a medication adherence profile for a patient, wherein the medication adherence profile includes a patient identifier identifying the patient, a medication identifier identifying a medication, a dispensing schedule identifying dispensing times for the medication, a set of caregivers, and set of criteria for notifying the caregivers;
• means for determining if a dispensing time indicated in the dispensing schedule is within a predetermined time interval or has occurred;
• means for generating a customized reminder message that includes a recording of an individual trusted by the patient reminding the patient to adhere to the dispensing schedule and requesting the patient to provide feedback regarding compliance;
• means for monitoring for feedback from the patient regarding compliance in response to receiving the customized reminder;
• and
• means for generating a compliance record based on the feedback provided by the patient.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• determining if a patient should be contacted with a customized reminder message, wherein the customized reminder message includes a recording of an individual trusted by the patient reminding the patient to take a medication and requesting the patient to provide feedback regarding compliance;
• transmitting the customized reminder message to the patient;
• determining if the patient acknowledges the customized reminder message;
