A computerized reminder system collates medical prescription information such
as
provided by commercial retail pharmacies to customized schedules for administration
of medication and therapy to patients. The system broadcasts reminder information
via radio frequency wireless transmissions over a wide area network subsystem to
portable receivers uniquely associated with specific patients. The patients receive
real-time reminders directed only to them to take medicine. Patients receive only
their own respective reminders and do not obtain reminders for other patients who
subscribe to the system.
