Abstract

Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products for determining prescribeable mobile health products and providing mobile health products. A method of determining prescribeable mobile health products includes receiving via a communications network, by a server, a request from a healthcare professional for prescribeable mobile health products for a patient, the request comprising a patient identifier that identifies the patient and a healthcare professional identifier that identifies the healthcare professional. Patient information based on the patient identifier, healthcare professional information based on the healthcare professional identifier, and payor information based on the patient information is retrieved by the server. A list of one or more prescribeable mobile health products based on at least the healthcare professional information, the patient information, and the payor information is generated by the server.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein generating, by the server, the list of one or more prescribeable mobile health products is further based on at least a formulary.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein generating, by the server, the list of one or more prescribeable mobile health products is further based on at least a prescribing history of the healthcare professional.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the payor information comprises insurance information for the patient.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more mobile health products comprise mobile health software, mobile health hardware, or any combination thereof

8. A method of determining prescribeable mobile health products comprising:

receiving via a communications network, by a server, a request from a healthcare professional for prescribeable mobile health products for a patient, the request comprising a patient identifier that identifies the patient and a healthcare professional identifier that identifies the healthcare professional;

retrieving, by the server, patient information based on the patient identifier, healthcare professional information based on the healthcare professional identifier, and payor information based on the patient information;

generating, by the server, a list of one or more prescribeable mobile health products, wherein for each mobile health product of the one or more prescribeable health products the healthcare professional information indicates that the healthcare professional is authorized to prescribe the mobile health product and the patient information and the payor information permits payment for the mobile health product.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving via the communications network, by the server, a request from the healthcare professional to provide to the patient one or more mobile health products from the list of one or more prescribeable mobile health products;

receiving via the communications network, by the server, a request from the patient to receive the one or more mobile health products; and

causing the one or more mobile health products to be delivered to the patient.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the one or more mobile health products comprise mobile health software and wherein causing the one or more mobile health products to be delivered to the patient comprises sending, to the patient, an electronic notification identifying a location from where the patient can download the mobile health software.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein generating, by the server, the list of one or more prescribeable mobile health products is further based on at least a formulary.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein generating, by the server, the list of one or more prescribeable mobile health products is further based on at least a prescribing history of the healthcare professional.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the payor information comprises insurance information for the patient.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more mobile health products comprise mobile health software, mobile health hardware, or any combination thereof

15. A computer program product, tangibly embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, for determining prescribeable mobile health products, the computer program product including instructions being operable to cause a data processing apparatus to:

receive via a communications network a request from a healthcare professional for prescribeable mobile health products for a patient, the request comprising a patient identifier that identifies the patient and a healthcare professional identifier that identifies the healthcare professional;

retrieve patient information based on the patient identifier, healthcare professional information based on the healthcare professional identifier, and payor information based on the patient information;

generate a list of one or more prescribeable mobile health products based on at least the healthcare professional information, the patient information, and the payor information.

16. The computer program product of claim 15, further including instructions being operable to cause the data processing apparatus to:

receive via the communications network a request from the healthcare professional to provide to the patient one or more mobile health products from the list of one or more prescribeable mobile health products;
