Description:
Title of The Invention
Medication Remindering With Remote Monitoring System
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to Medication Remindering With Remote Monitoring System
Background of the Invention
Despite the fact that medication adherence is critical for treating chronic diseases and achieving optimal health outcomes, many people fail to remember to take their prescriptions as recommended. This results in missed doses, improper dosage timing, and overall poor drug adherence. Furthermore, carers or healthcare providers frequently confront difficulties monitoring and guaranteeing drug compliance, particularly when they are not physically present with the patient.
CN111973458A The invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary systems, in particular to an intelligent medication reminding system which comprises a hospital end, wherein the hospital end comprises a medical record system, a medical insurance system and a peripheral, the medical record system and the medical insurance system are connected with a medical advice medication information tracking processing system in input, the peripheral is connected with the medical advice medication information tracking processing system in input, the medical advice medication information tracking processing system is respectively connected with a patient terminal module and a family supervision module in output, and the patient terminal module is connected with the family supervision module and the hospital end in output. The invention can more conveniently and accurately record the medical advice, is convenient for the user to use the medicine on time according to the medical advice, and meets the requirement that family members can participate in the medicine supervision and management of patients together.
Research Gap: Patients benefit from the flexibility and convenience of using a web-based tool for medication reminders and remote monitoring. They may access their prescription schedule, reminders, and other pertinent information from any internet-connected device. This convenience decreases the likelihood of missed doses owing to forgetfulness or a lack of tangible reminder tools.
US7607431B1A reminder device 2 and a system using that device can be employed both to alert a user to scheduled times for administration of standard medical procedures and to compile data representative of the actual administration of the medical procedure. The reminder device 2 includes an LCD 8 for notifying a user of important messages. The reminder device can be connected to a communications network so that data can be downloaded to the reminder device and uploaded to a medical professional for analysis. The reminder device can also be attached to a medical apparatus, such as a nebulizer, and the intervals during which that medical apparatus are in actual use can be communicated to and stored in the reminder device memory for subsequent uploading to a medical professional.
Research Gap: Medication reminders combined with remote monitoring increase medication adherence, encourage patient independence, decrease medication mistakes, improve communication between patients and healthcare providers, enable real-time monitoring, give data-driven insights, and provide flexibility and convenience.
None of the prior art indicate above either alone or in combination with one another disclose what the present invention has disclosed. Present invention is Medication Remindering With Remote Monitoring System

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION
1. Medication reminding with remote monitoring empowers patients to take control of their medication regimen. They no longer have to solely rely on memory or external assistance to manage their medications. The reminders and monitoring provided by the application enable patients to take their medications on time and adhere to their prescribed schedules, promoting a sense of independence and self-management.
2. Patients are less likely to miss doses or take improper quantities of medication when medication reminders are used. This decreases the possibility of medication mistakes, which can have major effects for the health of the patient. The remote monitoring feature can also assist in identifying possible difficulties like as missing dosages or inappropriate administration, allowing for immediate intervention and correction.
3. Medication reminders plus remote monitoring can help patients and healthcare professionals communicate and collaborate more effectively. Patients may use the app to ask inquiries, get explanations, or report any problems with their prescriptions. With the correct authorization, healthcare practitioners may access patient data and remotely monitor drug adherence, allowing them to offer prompt feedback, make changes to treatment plans, or address any problems.
4. Healthcare practitioners may track drug adherence in real time thanks to remote monitoring capabilities. They can be notified if a patient misses a dosage or deviates from the specified regimen. Because of this real-time monitoring, healthcare practitioners may react quickly, give assistance or reminders, and address any possible concerns that may impair prescription adherence.
5. Medication reminders combined with remote monitoring produce useful data on medication adherence patterns and trends. This data may be analyzed by healthcare practitioners to acquire insights into patient behavior, discover factors that may affect adherence, and make educated decisions about treatment plans or interventions. These findings have the potential to lead to more personalized therapy, improved patient outcomes, and more effective drug administration.
6. The ease of medication reminders with remote monitoring, as well as the personalised treatment it provides, contribute to improved patient satisfaction. Patients value the application's help, advice, and adaptability, which leads to a great healthcare experience.
7. The system can send notifications to carers or healthcare providers in the event of missing doses or variations from the prescribed regimen. This allows for timely action and follow-up with the patient to address any difficulties that may arise.
8. Medication reminder systems frequently have built-in communication capabilities that enable carers or healthcare professionals to engage with patients. To encourage drug adherence, they might offer messages, reminders, or comments. , Claims:We Claim:
