Abstract
Systems and methods for providing virtual pharmacy consultations are disclosed. A prescription database includes unique patient identifiers and associated prescriptions, each associated with a pharmacist identifier. Requests for virtual pharmacist consultations are received from the patient systems, each identifying one of the prescriptions. For each of the requests, the pharmacist identifier associated with the prescription is identified, and an electronic communications link is established between the patient system and a respective one of pharmacist systems for a telecommunications session.
Claims18
A system for providing virtual pharmacy consultations, said system comprising:
- a prescription database comprising:
- unique patient identifiers;
- prescriptions, each associated with one of the unique patient identifiers and a pharmacist identifier;
- patient systems in electronic communication with the prescription database, said patient systems comprising one or more of augmented reality devices, virtual reality devices, and holographic devices;
- pharmacist systems in electronic communication with the prescription database, said pharmacist systems comprising one or more of augmented reality devices, virtual reality devices, and holographic devices;
- one or more non-transitory electronic storage devices associated with the prescription database and comprising software instructions, which when executed, configure one or more processors to:
- receive requests for virtual pharmacist consultations from the patient systems, said requests comprising an identified one of the prescriptions, and for each of said requests:
- determine the pharmacist identifier associated with the identified one of the prescriptions of the respective request;
- and
- establish an electronic communications link between the patient system and the pharmacist system associated with the respective request for a telecommunications session.
A method for providing virtual pharmacy consultations, said method comprising:
- providing
- a prescription database comprising:
- unique patient identifiers;
- prescriptions, each associated with one of the unique patient identifiers and a pharmacist identifier;
- patient systems in electronic communication with the prescription database;
- and
- pharmacist systems in electronic communication with the prescription database, said pharmacist systems comprising one or more of augmented reality devices, virtual reality devices, and holographic devices;
- receiving electronic requests for virtual pharmacist consultations from the patient systems at one or more servers hosting the prescription database, said requests comprising an identified one of the prescriptions, and for each of said requests:
- determining the pharmacist identifier associated with the identified one of the prescriptions of the respective request;
- and
- establishing an electronic communications link between the patient system and the pharmacist system associated with the respective request for a telecommunications session.
A system for providing virtual pharmacy consultations, said system comprising:
- a prescription database comprising:
- unique patient identifiers;
- prescriptions, each associated with one of the unique patient identifiers and a pharmacist identifier;
- patient systems in electronic communication with the prescription database comprising holographic devices;
- pharmacist systems in electronic communication with the prescription database, said pharmacist systems comprising a same type of holographic devices;
- a real-time rendering subsystem comprising one or more camera, one or more microphones, and one or more pre-recorded videos of pharmacists associated with the pharmacist systems;
- one or more non-transitory electronic storage devices associated with the prescription database and comprising software instructions, which when executed, configure one or more processors to:
- receive requests for virtual pharmacist consultations from the patient systems, said requests comprising an identified one of the prescriptions, and for each of said requests:
- determine the pharmacist identifier associated with the identified one of the prescriptions of the respective request;
- and
- establish an electronic communications link between the patient system and the pharmacist system associated with the respective request for a telecommunications session, including capturing live video and audio for said telecommunications session at the real-time rendering system and updating a respective one of said one or more pre-recorded videos associated with the pharmacist system associated with the request with said live video and said live audio for said telecommunications sessions.
