Abstract
Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for providing remote healthcare. In one or more embodiments, the devices, systems, and methods described herein are configured to provide a telemedical encounter between a healthcare provider and a subject.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- a medical item anticipated to be needed by a subject at a future point in time, the medical item having a label or token directly or indirectly attached thereto and detachable therefrom, wherein the medical item is selected based on a statistical level of likelihood that the medical item will be needed by the subject at the future point in time using one or more of a present biometric data about the subject or an environmental factor, wherein the label or token is electronically indexed to an electronic record, and wherein the label or token includes an information portion having an information identifying the medical item, an information identifying the contents of the medical item, an information about the subject, an information about a medication in the medical item, or a combination thereof;
- and
- an electronic device for obtaining the information or combination of information from the label or token, the electronic device comprising media-stored and processor-executable software adapted for communicating the information or combination of information to the electronic device when the label or the token and the electronic device are proximate to each other, identifying when a physical tap of the token is made on a portion of the electronic device, and causing the electronic storing of a cumulative count of the physical tap or a use of the medical item.
An apparatus comprising:
- a prescribed medical item for use as a therapy anticipated to be needed by a subject at a future point in time, the medical item selected based on a statistical level of likelihood that the therapy will be needed at the future point of time using one or more of a present biometric data about the subject or an environmental factor, wherein the dispensed medial item is a medicine or a non-medicine medical item;
- a label or a token directly or indirectly attached to and detachable from the medical item, wherein the label or the token includes an information portion for providing information at least identifying the dispensed medical item, instructions for future use of the dispensed medical item, the subject, a medication data, or a combination thereof, and wherein the label or the token is electronically indexed to an electronic record stored in a remote database;
- and
- means for obtaining the information from the label or token and for dispensing by a remote healthcare provider the medical item to the subject ahead of the need for the medical item by the subject, instructions for future use of the medical item, and monitoring a use of the medical item by the subject after dispensing.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a storage container for providing to a subject and dispensing one or more prescribed medical items contained therein to the subject at a future point in time that is between 1 day and 24 months in the future;
- a communications device for communicating information between a technology device and the storage container;
- and
- a processor-executable software for enabling the communication of the information between the container and the technology device,
- wherein the one or more medical items is selected based on a health or economic risk assessment, an output from a biometric sensor device, or a computed statistical level of likelihood that the one or more medical items will be a needed new therapy for the subject.
