A patient apparatus is configured to receive and analyze information regarding
patient compliance with anticoagulation medication and self-test coagulation regimens
related to anticoagulation therapy. In addition, a patient apparatus is configured
to receive data from a patient, including physiological data, pathophysiological
data, biological data, psychological data, neuropsychological data, and/or behavioral
data. Utilizing the received patient data, a patient apparatus can modify a warfarin
regimen using an algorithm contained within the apparatus. The apparatus can communicate
the modified warfarin regimen to the patient and to third parties, such as remotely
located healthcare providers. In addition, the apparatus can prompt a patient when
to perform a self-test and can prompt a patient to seek immediate medical attention,
or to directly contact medical help, when so warranted.
