Systems and methods for improved health care compliance
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect a representation by a patient, that the patient has taken a substance in accordance with a predefined schedule for taking a substance, wherein the sensor is further configured to detect the representation by detecting a signal transmitted through the patient'"'"'s body, and wherein the signal transmitted through the patient'"'"'s body is associated with an application of a patch to the patient'"'"'s body;
a processing device configured to (i) determine, based on a detection of the representation by the sensor, a degree of patient compliance with a healthcare regimen and (ii) determine, based on the degree of compliance, output information associated with a game;
and an output device configured to provide, to the patient, an indication of the output information associated with the game.

Abstract
According to some embodiments, systems, apparatus, methods, and articles of manufacture may provide for improved health care compliance. Embodiments may comprise, for example, identifying an occurrence of an event associated with the taking of a substance by a patient, determining output information associated with a game, and providing the output information to the patient. Some embodiments may comprise receiving a code associated with a patient, wherein the code includes encoded information that is indicative of an occurrence of an event associated with the taking of a substance by a patient, decoding the code to determine the information, determining whether the occurrence of the event is compliant with a condition associated with the taking of the substance, and providing, in the case that compliance with the condition is determined, one or more rewards to the patient.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processing device result in:
-
detecting a representation by a patient, that the patient has taken a substance in accordance with a predefined schedule for taking the substance, wherein the representation comprises an indication of a detection of a signal transmitted through the patient'"'"'s body, and wherein the signal transmitted through the patient'"'"'s body is associated with an application of a patch to the patient'"'"'s body; determining, based on the detecting of the representation, a degree of patient compliance with a healthcare regimen; determining, based on the degree of compliance, output information associated with a game; and providing, to the patient, an indication of the output information associated with the game. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A method, comprising:
-
detecting, by a processing device, a representation by a patient, that the patient has taken a substance in accordance with a predefined schedule for taking the substance, wherein the representation comprises an indication of a detection of a signal transmitted through the patient'"'"'s body, and wherein the signal transmitted through the patient'"'"'s body is associated with an application of a patch to the patient'"'"'s body; determining, by the processing device and based on the detecting of the representation, a degree of patient compliance with a healthcare regimen; determining, by the processing device and based on the degree of compliance, output information associated with a game; and providing, by the processing device and to the patient, an indication of the output information associated with the game. - View Dependent Claims (20)
