PERSONALIZED MEDICATION MANAGEMENT AND ALERT SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A personalized medication management and alert method, the method comprising:
- creating a user profile based at least upon received user genetic information;
storing the user profile in memory on a computer;
updating the user profile based on received user personal information, the received user personal information including any medications currently used by the user;
storing information in a medication-interaction database, the information in the medical-interaction database obtained from at least one medical reference source;
updating the stored information in the medication-interaction database to include current scientific and medical data changes as they become available;
comparing, by a processor, information in the updated user profile to the updated information in the medication-interaction database; and
presenting on a user'"'"'s computing device, a visual display indicating if there are any interactions between a medication to be taken by the user and the user'"'"'s genetic makeup, other medications taken by the user, the user'"'"'s current illnesses, the user'"'"'s lifestyle, the user'"'"'s diet, and the user'"'"'s allergies.
