Solution

The Patient requires a simple familiar device that will remind them of what drug and dosage to take. This device must allow the Patient to submit a response that would be immediately available to their Doctor.

The Doctor must then in return be able to monitor the Patients progress and if necessary, change the dosage of the prescribed medication.

This can simply be achieved by the Patient being issued with a SMART Mobile Phone or a PDA running PROD Client Software, and the Doctor monitoring and maintaining the Patients progress via a simple Internet Browser accessing PROD Server software.

It’s time to take your medicine….

PROD will

• Prompt the patient with a sound and a clear message stating the exact drug and dosage
• Record the actual date and time that the patient indicated the dosage was taken
• Prompt for multiple dosage of different drugs at different times for the same patient
• Prompt the patient reliably even if the handheld device is not connected to a mobile network
• Will continue to alert the patient at pre-set intervals until the dosage is taken

How are you feeling today?…

PROD will:

• Collect feedback from the customer each time a dose is taken

• Ask the patient to answer simple multiple-choice questions as to their state of health and the effectiveness of the drugs used, (these can be customised to suit specific applications)

• The patient answers questions via a simple intuitive user interface that can be operated with a single finger, (questions can be answered in a few seconds)

Monitoring/ Maintaining The Patients Progress….

The prescribing physician can be informed automatically if:

The prescribing physician can call up a patients record at any time including,

• Date and time each dose was taken
• Responses to questions asked at each dose
• Physicians can alter the timing or dosage remotely
• changes will take effect the next time the Patients device connects
