METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AND ANALYZING COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL DOSING REGIMEN
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring compliance with a dosing regimen comprising the steps of:
- detecting internalization of a first dose form to generate a first data point;
detecting internalization of a second dose form to generate a second data point; and
analyzing said first data point and said second data point.

Abstract
A method and system for monitoring and analyzing compliance with an internal dosing regimen prescribed to be taken in multiple dose forms includes the steps of detecting internalization of a first dose form to generate a first data point, detecting internalization of a second dose form to generate a second data point, and analyzing the first data point and the second data point. The step of analyzing the first and second data points generates a metric of a variety of possible metric types. The first and second dose forms may be two of any plural number of sequentially-internalized dose forms which generate a like number of sequential data points. Subsequent internalizations of dose forms result in at least a like number of data points being generated. To effect the disclosed method a system is provided which includes at least two dose forms, a time stamp identifier operatively associated with each dose form, a receiving device for receiving the time stamp identifier data, and an analyzer for analyzing the received data,

10. A method for monitoring compliance with a dosing regimen involving a dose form to be taken internally in the body of a user, the method comprising the steps of:
-
preparing a first dose form comprising a detector;
preparing a second dose form comprising a detector;
placing said first dose form into the body of the user;
detecting the environment of the body adjacent to said first dose form;
generating a first data point in response to the detection of the environment inside the body by said first dose form;
placing said second dose form into the body of the user;
detecting the environment of the body adjacent to said second dose form;
generating a second data point in response to the detection of the environment inside the body by said second dose form; and
analyzing said first data point and said second data point. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for monitoring compliance to a dosing regimen by a user comprising:
-
a first dose form for placement into the body of the user, said first dose form including a device for detecting placement into the body;
a second dose form for placement into the body of the user, said second dose form including a device for detecting placement into the body;
a producing device for producing a first data point in response to the detection of placement of said first dose form into the body of the user;
a producing device for producing a second data point in response to the detection of placement of said second dose form into the body of the user;
a receiving device for receiving said first data point and said second data point; and
an analyzer for analyzing said first data point and said second data point. - View Dependent Claims (20)
