Management method and system for implementation, execution, data collection, and data analysis of a structured collection procedure which runs on a collection device
First Claim
1. A system to perform a structured collection procedure, the system comprising a collection device, one or more processors, a memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, and machine readable instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- with the collection device, initiate a collection procedure comprising one or more data event instances occurring according to a schedule of events, wherein each said data event instance comprises a data collection for a biomarker, said data collection to be performed according to one or more conditions of an adherence criteria pre-selected for each data event instance;
perform a data collection for at least one of said one or more data event instances;
after each data event instance, determine that a successful data collection has been performed in response to the data collection being actually performed and at least one condition of the pre-selected adherence criteria for the data event instance being met, and otherwise, determine that the data collection for the data event instance is an unsuccessful data collection;
generate contextual information for each successful data collection, said contextual information comprising at least a date and time of performing the data collection;
generate a data file for the collection procedure and store said data file in a first memory of the memory, said data file comprising a record for each data event instance comprising data of the successful data collection corresponding to the data event instance including the contextual information of the successful data collection;
for each data event instance having an unsuccessful data collection, determine availability of substitute data from a data collection performed separately from the collection procedure and stored with corresponding contextual information in the first memory or a second memory, wherein availability of the substitute data is determined according to whether the substitute data meets at least one condition of the pre-selected adherence criteria for the corresponding data event instance; and
in response to availability of substitute data being determined, select the substitute data for inclusion in the data file record of the corresponding data event instance such that the data file is configured to be complete for analysis of the collection procedure through inclusion of the substitute data.

Abstract
Methods for performing a structured collection procedure by utilizing a collection device are disclosed herein, in which a collection procedure is initiated for performing one or more data collections for one or more data event instances occurring according to a schedule of events. Each data event instances comprises a data collection pertaining to a biomarker to be performed according to one or more conditions of an adherence criterion. Each data event instance is determined to be successful or unsuccessful on the basis of actual performance of the data collection and meeting certain conditions of the predetermined adherence criteria for the data event instance. Contextual information for successful data collections is generated and a data file generated for storing records relating to successful data collections. For unsuccessful data event instances, substitute data relating to data collections performed separately from the collection procedure are included in the data file records for the collection procedure if the substitute data is determined to meet conditions of the predetermined adherence criterion for the corresponding data event instance.
