Abstract
Provided are computer implemented method and systems for providing and monitoring patient compliance with a patient healthcare treatment plan. The method includes receiving, from a healthcare provider over a network, application features for generating a patient application including patient instructions for using a medical therapy, and generating an application for a patient. The application includes at least an input for the user to input data for use in evaluating patient compliance with a treatment plan. In addition, the method includes receiving, from the healthcare provider over the network, a prescription for the application for the patient, and activating the application after the patient receives training on use of the application. The method also may include receiving patient compliance data from the application over the network based on the input.
Core Innovation
A computer-implemented method and system provide and monitor user compliance with a regimen over a network. The approach analyzes properties of a disease based on patient data, where the properties of the disease comprise temporary, chronic, and persistent symptoms, a duration, and treatments associated with the disease. Software is generated based on analyzing the properties of the disease, and the application is prescribed via a prescription from a health care provider based on at least one of a national drug code number and a national provider identifier (NPI).
The prescription is provided to a third party that generates an activation code based on the prescription via a third party server unaffiliated with the health care provider. An instruction is provided to a user to obtain the activation code from the third party, and user access to the application is permitted only after the applied activation code is confirmed via the application. A user personal medical profile is generated by receiving patient identification information, user device information, and an electronic medical record, parsing the electronic medical record into user data, comparing the user data to one or more existing template patient profiles, and generating the user personal medical profile based on a model generated from a machine learning algorithm.
The application operates on a user device having a graphical user interface (GUI), including an input for the user to input data for evaluating compliance with the regimen. Patient entries input via the GUI, over the network, are analyzed for compliance by comparing the patient entries to the user personal medical profile to determine one or more of a change or an action needed, and feedback is provided to the patient based on the analyzing. The method and system also process a request for one or more healthcare products and provide a report to a compliance entity based on the analysis of patient compliance, while receiving user compliance data from the application over the network and receiving electronic processing of the user compliance data to generate electronic feedback to the user.
Claims Coverage
The independent claims are clm-00001, clm-00002, and clm-00008, and each includes a network-delivered regimen compliance workflow featuring disease-property analysis, prescription-based third-party activation code gating, and a machine-learning-generated user personal medical profile used to evaluate GUI-based patient entries. Across the independent claims, the inventive features cover 6 inventive features.
Disease-property analysis for regimen compliance monitoring
Analyzing properties of a disease based on patient data, wherein the properties of the disease comprise temporary, chronic, and persistent symptoms associated with the disease, a duration associated with the disease, and treatments associated with the disease; generating a software based on analyzing the properties of the disease.
Prescription-based third-party activation code access gating
Acquiring a national drug code number from a regulatory entity; acquiring a national provider identifier (NPI), wherein an application based on the software is prescribed, via a prescription from a health care provider, based on at least one of the national drug code number and the NPI; providing the prescription to a third party that generates an activation code based on the prescription via a third party server unaffiliated with the health care provider; providing an instruction to a user to obtain the activation code from the third party; permitting user access to the application only after the applied activation code being confirmed via the application.
Machine-learning-generated user personal medical profile from electronic medical record
Generating a user personal medical profile based on receiving patient identification information, user device information, and an electronic medical record of the patient, wherein the user personal medical profile is further based on parsing the electronic medical record into user data and comparing the user data to one or more existing template patient profiles, and wherein the user personal medical profile is generated based on a model generated from a machine learning algorithm.
GUI-based patient entries analyzed against the personal medical profile with feedback and reporting
Generating the application for operation on a user device having a graphical user interface (GUI), the application including an input for the user to input data via the GUI for use in evaluating compliance with the regimen; receiving patient entries input via the GUI, over the network; analyzing patient entries for compliance with the regimen based on the patient entries, wherein analyzing the patient entries comprises comparing the patient entries to the user personal medical profile to determine that one or more of a change or an action is needed; providing feedback, via the application, to the patient, based on analyzing the patient entries; providing a report to a compliance entity based on analyzing the patient entries, wherein the report comprises an analysis of patient compliance with the regimen; and receiving user compliance data from the application over the network based on the patient entries.
Instructional information via the user device
Providing instructional information via the user device, the instructional information including instructions for use of the application and being provided via one or more of a text message, a video tutorial, a slide show, and an animation.
Healthcare product request processing through the application
Processing a request for one or more healthcare products via the application, wherein the one or more healthcare products may be selected from a pharmaceutical, a medical therapy, and a medical device.
Taken together, the independent claims cover a network-implemented regimen compliance framework that generates and applies a machine-learning-based user personal medical profile derived from an electronic medical record and template patient profiles, uses a third-party activation code to gate access after a provider prescription, and evaluates GUI-based patient entries against the personal medical profile to determine change or action needs, while providing patient feedback and compliance reporting to a compliance entity. The claims further include instructional information delivery channels and processing of requests for healthcare products selected from specified categories.
Stated Advantages
Permitting user access to the application only after the applied activation code being confirmed via the application.
Determining that one or more of a change or an action is needed based on comparing patient entries to the user personal medical profile.
Providing feedback to the patient based on analyzing the patient entries.
Providing a report to a compliance entity based on analyzing the patient entries, wherein the report comprises an analysis of patient compliance with the regimen.
Documented Applications
Providing and monitoring user compliance with a regimen over a network.
Evaluating compliance with the regimen by receiving patient entries input via a GUI over the network and analyzing the patient entries against the user personal medical profile.
Providing patient instructional information for use of the application via text message, video tutorial, slide show, and animation.
Processing a request for one or more healthcare products via the application, where the healthcare products are selected from a pharmaceutical, a medical therapy, and a medical device.
Providing a report to a compliance entity based on patient compliance analysis (insurance company is described in the independent-claim family through the compliance entity limitation in dependent claims).
