GAMIFICATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED HEALTHCARE OUTCOMES

摘要

A gamified pharmaceutical packaging dispensing system and methodology is disclosed. The innovative gamified smart packaging system and methodology provides a variety of incentives to patients and relevant teams to take their medications on time and at the correct dosage. The system comprises monitored pharmaceutical dispensing devices that communicate with a plurality of compute devices or smartphones. Each time the patient dispenses the medicine from the dispensing device a signal is transmitted to the compute device. Upon receiving the signal the compute device records the dispensing event calculates a specific score for that event and reports the patients cumulative score of successfully dispensing the medicine. If a dispensing event signal is not received in a timely fashion the system sends a prompt to the patient to take their medication. Accumulating points by properly taking the prescribed medication allows the patient and/or team to be eligible to receive various benefits.
