1. An integrated prescription management and compliance system comprising:

  • at least one primary health care database containing user-specific prescription medication data for one or more individuals selected from the group consisting of one or more pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers (PBM), health insurance companies, National Council for Prescription Drug Program (NCPDP) database providers, electronic health record (EHR) providers, and other primary health care databases containing user-specific prescription medication data for one or more individuals stored or hosted on at least one primary health care computer server and connected to one or more networks;

    a secondary database system comprising at least one database, database management system, program module, application program, and algorithm stored or hosted on at least one computer server and connected via one or more networks and integrated with a user interface, a wireless messaging platform, and at least one primary health care database or primary health care computer server that (i) enables one or more individuals to create and access user accounts in conjunction with a user interface Web application, WAP application, or mobile application, (ii) enables users to access a user account set up algorithm which requires each user to enter, scan in, or otherwise specify at least their schedule data, current time zone, wireless phone number or wireless device identifier, and one or more personal identifiers, primary health care account identifiers, or combinations thereof into their user account to complete the algorithm, (iii) utilizes the personal identifiers, primary health care account identifiers, or combinations thereof specified in each user account as part of the user account set up algorithm to execute user authentication and authorization processes with at least one primary health care database or primary health care computer server and uploads, processes, and stores user-specific prescription medication data from at least one primary health care database or primary health care computer server into the secondary database system and each user account, (iv) enables each user to select prescription medications in their user account for further system use from among all prescription medications uploaded or added to their user account, (v) enables each user to enter, scan in, select, or otherwise specify data in their user account and combine this data with the user-specific prescription medication data uploaded or added to their user account, (vi) utilizes data entered, scanned in, or otherwise specified by each user as part of the user account set up algorithm to perform calculations for each user and configure user-specific system settings, (vii) calculates a user and time-specific medication dosing regimen for each prescription medication selected in each user account using a medication dosing regimen formula, one or more schedule variables selected from the schedule data each user specifies in their user account as part of the user account set up algorithm, and one or more dosage variables selected from the user-specific prescription medication data for each prescription medication in each user account, (viii) generates user and time-specific medication dosing instructions for each dose of prescription medication based on the user and time-specific medication dosing regimen calculated by the system for that user and prescription medication, (ix) enables each user to optionally enhance their user and time-specific medication dosing instructions with a medication image, Internet medication link, Internet treatment link, advertisement, or logo based on user account selections made via the user interface, and (x) makes said user and time-specific medication dosing instructions and other user account data available to the wireless messaging platform;

    a user interface comprising at least one Web application, WAP application, mobile application, or combination thereof stored or hosted on at least one computer server, connected via one or more networks and integrated with the secondary database system, and accessible to users via at least one Web site, WAP site, mobile site, or combination thereof over one or more networks which, in conjunction with the secondary database system, (i) enables one or more individuals to create user accounts, (ii) enables users to enter, scan in, select, or otherwise specify data in their user accounts, (iii) enables users to access, view, and modify data in their user accounts, and (iv) enables users to access a user account set up algorithm which requires each user to enter, scan in, or otherwise specify data items in their user account which are then used by the secondary database system to perform calculations for each user and configure user-specific system settings;

    a wireless messaging platform comprising at least one database, program module, and application program stored or hosted on at least one computer server, connected via one or more networks and integrated with the secondary database system, and connected via one or more networks to one or more wireless carriers or wireless messaging gateways which (i) determines message recipients, formats, and schedules data-based messages containing the user and time-specific medication dosing instructions generated by the system utilizing user account data including each user'"'"'s current time zone and specified wireless phone number or wireless device identifier, and (ii) transmits said data-based messages containing user and time-specific medication dosing instructions over one or more networks to one or more wireless carriers or wireless messaging gateways for wireless delivery over one or more wireless networks to each user at system-determined medication dose times on each user'"'"'s wireless phone, Smartphone, personal digital assistant (PDA), wireless device, or combinations thereof via Short Message Service (SMS), Enhanced Message Service (EMS), Multimedia Message Service (MMS), Wireless Application Protocol Push (WAP-Push), Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW), Instant Message (IM), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), email, or combinations thereof.
