Abstract
A method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a method for reminding a patient to comply with medication schedule. The method includes obtaining a measurement of at least one patient parameter; determining whether the measurement is outside of a range; when the measurement is outside of the range, determining a total time lapse since the previous administration of a dose of the medication; determining a concentration of the medication in blood of the patient based at least on the total time lapse; and when the concentration of the medication in the blood of the patient is below a threshold, generating a reminder to the patient to administer the next dose of the medication.
Claims17
A method for providing a reminder to a patient of when a second dose of a medication should be administered, the patient having been administered a first dose of the medication, the method comprising:
- obtaining a measurement of at least one patient parameter;
- determining whether the measurement of the at least one patient parameter is outside of a range;
- when the measurement of the at least one patient parameter is outside of the range, determining a total time lapse since the administration of the first dose of the medication;
- determining a concentration of the medication in blood of the patient based at least on the total time lapse;
- and
- when the concentration of the medication in the blood of the patient is below a threshold, generating a reminder to the patient to administer the second dose of the medication,
- wherein the at least one patient parameter characterizes a medical condition to be treated by the medication.
A device for providing a reminder to a patient of when a second dose of a medication should be administered, the patient having been administered a first dose of the medication, the device comprising:
- a parameter acquisition unit configured to obtain a measurement of at least one patient parameter, and determine whether the measurement of the at least one patient parameter is outside of a range;
- a time counter configured to, when the measurement of the at least one patient parameter is outside of the range, determine a total time lapse since the administration of the first dose of the medication;
- a concentration determination unit configured to determine a concentration of the medication in blood of the patient based at least on the calculated total time lapse;
- and
- a reminder generation unit configured to, when the concentration of the medication in the blood of the patient is below a threshold, generate a reminder to the patient to administer the second dose of the medication,
- wherein the at least one patient parameter characterizes a medical condition to be treated by the medication.
