Method and system for tracking and monitoring patient compliance with medical device usage prescription
First Claim
1. A method for tracking and monitoring a patient'"'"'s compliance with a prescription for a medical device during a compliance period, the method comprising:
- executing one or more computer program modules using one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to;
receive a minimum medical device usage short session value;
determine an actual medical device usage value for at least one discrete medical device usage session associated with a medical device adapted to provide a treatment to a patient;
compare the actual medical device usage value for each medical device usage session with the minimum medical device usage short session value; and
determine an actual medical device usage value for the compliance period by summing the actual medical device usage value for each medical device usage session that is greater than or equal to the minimum medical device usage short session value and subtracting each actual medical device usage value that is less than the minimum medical device usage short session value during the compliance period.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for tracking and monitoring a patient'"'"'s compliance with a medical device usage prescription for a medical device is disclosed. This method and system includes the steps of: (a) providing a minimum medical device usage compliance value for the medical device for a predetermined compliance period; (b) providing the quantity of compliance periods in a measurement cycle; and (c) determining a compliance period value as the number of compliance periods in the measurement cycle in which an actual medical device usage value is at least equal to the minimum medical device usage compliance value. In another embodiment, the method also includes: providing a weighting factor, and applying the weighting factor to at least one actual medical device session usage value.
