Medication Administration And Patient Health Management Strategies, And Systems For Same

摘要

A patient health management system includes a personal computing system having a computer readable memory storing computer executable code. The system further includes a microprocessor configured to execute the computer executable code and compare stored medication library data with image data associated with a digital image of a medication captured by a digital imaging device of the personal computing system. The microprocessor is further configured to link profile data for a patient-user of the personal computing system with identification data for the medication and output an administration confirmation request based on the linked data. The administration confirmation request may include a wireless signal transmitted to a remote computing system to enable a remote computer or a health services provider to confirm that planned self-administration of medication by a patient is correct. Pharmacy errors, potential medication interaction, and other conflicts may be proactively addressed, and the patient may be alerted via signals sent to a personal communication device. Action conditions other than potential conflicts may also be detected and addressed, such as suitability for patient participation in clinical research studies.
