SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REAL TIME MANAGEMENT OF A DRUG REGIMEN
First Claim
1. A system for managing a prescribed drug regimen for a user, the system comprising:
- at least one electronic device (Pod) for interactive communication with at least one user;
wherein each said Pod includes;
at least one sensor for sensing and recording at least one characteristic of a drug to be taken by one of said users;
means for transferring said recorded characteristics to said Pod server for analysis of compatibility of said drug with a pre-selected drug regimen;
means for receiving from said Pod server analyzed data regarding compatibility; and
a display for displaying said received data;
a Pod server coupled via a communication link to each said at least one Pod, said Pod server comprising an analysis unit, said analysis unit including;
a database of drug characteristics; and
a processor for receiving said output signals, comparing sensed characteristics of a drug in one of said Pods with characteristics in said drug characteristics database, so as to identify said drug, and to provide to said Pod an indication of compatibility of said drug with the drug regimen.

12. A method for monitoring a drug regimen, the method comprising:
-
sensing and recording selected characteristics of a drug to be identified in at least one electronic device (Pod) for interactive communication with at least one user; transferring said recorded characteristics to a Pod server coupled via a communication link to each said at least one Pod, said Pod server comprising an analysis unit, said analysis unit including a database of drug characteristics and a processor for analysis for compatibility with a pre-selected drug regimen; comparing in said processor sensed characteristics of a drug in one of said Pods with characteristics in said drug characteristics database, so as to identify said drug; said processor providing to said Pod an indication of compatibility of said drug with the drug regimen; said Pod receiving analyzed data of said recorded characteristics regarding compatibility; and said Pod displaying said received data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A method for managing a prescribed drug regimen for a user, the method comprising:
-
providing a user with an electronic device (a Pod) for interactive communication with said user, said Pod having a unique identifier, and providing a server, coupled via a communication link to said Pod, said server including a database of drug characteristics and a processor; registering said Pod with said Pod server as belonging to said user; entering a drug regimen of the user into the Pod; receiving a drug in said Pod for identification; sensing selected characteristics of said drug in said Pod and transmitting sensed characteristics to said server; comparing, in said processor, said sensed characteristics with characteristics of known drugs; and said processor providing an identification of said drug to said Pod when a match is found. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
