Methods and Systems for Patient Self-Management
First Claim
1. A method for managing patient care, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving via input device and storing in electronic format a prescription for a dosage of at least one medication, wherein the dosage varies based upon at least one patient parameter;
(b) automatically electronically transmitting a first message at an identified time to an electronic device associated with the patient, the first message prompting the patient to input a measurement of the at least one patient parameter;
(c) receiving via electronic signal from the patient'"'"'s electronic device, a second message comprising the measurement of the at least one patient parameter;
(d) automatically calculating and electronically transmitting to the patient'"'"'s electronic device, a third message comprising the dosage of the at least one medication based on the measurement of the at least one patient parameter; and
(e) repeating steps (b)-(d) at identified intervals.
